Yes but there is a no metal touching the carpet, I could have sworn it. Anyways, I am getting my rules confused. Yesterday I was dealing with 35 a lot as we went to get our materials to make bumpers. Gotta love going into a pool place and asking for 15 pool noodles in the middle of winter. They give you really wierd looks.

Oh well. Shot down, it seems. It was just a thought that came to me as I was chuckling to myself about the 2002 tether debacle.

On a related note, is it still legal to pin an opponent on your platform for the entire match?

More amazing than the sheer quantity of robot parts is the number of tape measures visible and ready for use.

It would take a good hour long search party to find half that amount hidden around our lab.

Heh. On Sunday, I found my metric tape measure which has been missing since PNW last year. I suspect a mentor toolbox (even though it had my name tape on it...)

I usually have to beat people away with tetras to get my hands on a tape measure in our shop. It's soooo unorganized, and we only have four that your never quite sure what they're under.

When are we going to see the finished bot? haven't heard anything after ship date.

Keep your eyes pealed. There may be something coming out later this week.
