The thread created because another thread was derailed has been derailed. Or should I say de-air-ailed?

It's semantics I know, but technically any wheel damages the carpet by regular driving. Then the discussion is "what is significant enough to consider" and we're basically back where we started, rules interpretation. I wouldn't call a team out for using versawheels as an inspector.

Welp, we finally reached that point of the season. Everyone has gone mad.

Not quite yet. My team is trying to figure out what is this year's functional equivalent of the Simbot's breathtaking Supersonic Harpoon. If we find it, then we may have gone mad in the process.

Re: Are Fans Pneumatic Devices?

This topic is blown all out of proportion.
It seems you are all at the point of over pressure.
So you just need some release or valve to dump that pressure.
I will reserve any further comment and hope the topic tanks.



Sanity is overrated: open your mind to the possibilities.
