or forgetting a key feature like a second carriage. D'oh! Being underweight was really helpful for 3476's design iteration.

Re: FRC pocketing

Let us not forget the practice of pocketing the back of bumpers to fit over protrusions in the robot frame. This practice was essentially eliminated with the FRAME PERIMETER language and "minor protrusions' limited to 1/4" entries in past rules. 2016 rules may differ, please be sure to read everything in the robot section, twice!
