Little-known rules for 2008

Here's another one that does not appear to be known widely enough:

You can catch your control board/OI if it is falling off of the shelf due to a robot colliding with your player station wall in hybrid. Teams, don't let your control boards smash!!!

Don't rely on your drive team catching it. On the alliance station these is a long strip of velcro that you can connect your controls to. I dont know if it is the fuzzy or pokey side of the velcro though. Could someone who was at one of the comps let us know?

According to the manual it is loop side (fuzzy). So your controls should have hook side (plasticky).

Anyone know if any controls that were velcroed have fallen?

When in starting configuration, does your robot have to be flush against the wall or just toughing it?

Just touching it.
