Re: MERGED: Universal Hanging System/Standardized Partner Suspension

I fully agree that there should be some standardized hanging system identical (at least in size and shape) as the tower par.

Unfortunately, many teams will have a problem for this because of space. I see this getting in the way of pendulem type kickers (especially considering this changes the weight distribution)

Ideally, the bar would go across the middle of the robot, at hopefully two points. Any more than that and connecting is too difficult.

Also, if the connection is not perfectly balanced, Tipping will be an issue, and it may fall under the platform (20" if I'm not mistaken), and no points will be awarded for that extra robot.

Just some potential problems that need to be worked around for a standardized system.
