Haha. Couldn't one argue that it would be classified as a drone? That would then violate the admin manual. haha

Could somebody please clarify?
why? just why?

Re: Balloons

If your aiming for lower weight, you could fill balloons with helium and pop them, so then just the gas leaves and not the balloon itself.

Re: Balloons

Keep G17 in mind as well (emphasis mine).


G17 ROBOT height, as measured when it’s resting normally on a flat floor, may not exceed 4 ft. 6 in.
during the MATCH, except during the final twenty (20) seconds of TELEOP where there is no height
limit when a ROBOT is fully contained by the opponent’s COURTYARD.
Violation: FOUL. If strategic, offending ROBOT will be DISABLED.
