New robot rules at Peachtree

[Steve W]

If FIRST was concerned about this why did they not make it a requirement at season start. I understand the reasoning behind it but would be more concerned this year about exploding tanks.

I have seen quite a few different shooters and to try and "restrain" them could be very difficult. This would but major stress on a team at the regional as they cannot do anything while the robot is bagged. I also believe that there were games in past years without this new rule that were more powerful than this year yet there was nothing said then.
