Go to Post They could release an update saying they were going to give every team free puppies and kittens, and many teams would vehemently complain this change was too late to budget dry kibbles into their budget. - artdutra04 [more]

Both legal, both gracious

Sorry bomber, gotta debate you on both points.

1) Using a wedge to transfer traction and gain an advantage is absolutely legal and within the spirit of the game. Using it to ram, damage, flip or disable is not and would be dq'd.

Hopefullly you've seen our posts this year about our team's contact philosophy during a match: If a driver damages another robot he gets to go to their pit and help them fix it. (I guess we make an exception during elimination rounds - not enough time. Sorry Beatty).

2) Modifications - major, minor or otherwise - to the robot can be made as spelled out in the rules provided all fabrication takes place at the competition, which is why we didn't get the ramp on until late Friday - we didn't start building it until thursday afternoon. You could build a whole new robot if you want - but it's not likely there is time or resources to do it.

Nice to have your team back - we really missed you last year.
