Re: Interesting Q/A's

Yet another Fix-It Window question...

While practicing with the second robot, they realize their Super-Secret Widget of Graciously Professional Doom just isn't going to cut it, so they start thinking up ways to improve it. Do the parts Redateam uses to improve their Super-Secret Widget of Graciously Professional Doom on the practice robot (and never see the light of day at a FRC event) have to be fabricated during a Fix-It Window, or is it only the parts that will go on the competition robot?

And big ups to 386 on this one...

It would be much nicer for most teams to be able to work on the weekend rather than late on school/work nights.

The Fix-It-Window opens at 8:30 am on the Thursday of the competition, and runs through 8:30am on the following Thursday. We will correct the wording on Rule <R20> (again) to indicate this.
