Q72 Reminder, Crate Height Limit

Sure, but it's a limited way to store stuff and still requires you to disassemble the module.

I'm not saying it's impossible to deal with the restriction, it's just that it's not great that the restriction isn't the same for all FRC teams.

Thank you very much for the reminder--I hadn't even considered it!

Fortunately I think we can disassemble with (relative) ease to get down to that height.

Meh. It's all part of the game.

Some teams gain an advantage based on time zone for kickoff.

Some teams have better lead times with COTS items.

Some teams can drive to champs, saving a HUGE amount of money.

etc... etc...

It's never going to be fair, and that's fine.

I mostly agree, but I think this is a case where the GDC created the unfairness and could easily have avoided it: Transport configuration maximum height 55". Game configuration max height: 78".

But i'm starting to feel like this -> so i'll leave this topic alone..
