Legality of Team 190's Mechanism?

[Daniel Bathgate]

Wow. I never realized the effect that crossing a line vs breaking a plane had on 190's design. That does appear to say that 190 should have received a penalty every time they hurdled, for a grand total of -2 points per hurdle. Which is a shame, as I do not think that 190's design violated the spirit of <G22> as the arm was always moving in a counterclockwise direction.

(Hey, finally a positive comment for the SVR refs differing from the GDC is in order for allowing the design!)

This will really be painful for 190 at the Championships. I wonder if they will use their arm in a slightly less awesome way and hurdle while lapping? Anyways, that was one really creative design.

And a disclaimer: I may be a bit biased from being on 190s elimination alliance
