Re: Tank Treads

I understand the intent of the rule (don't damage the field) but as an engineer I have difficulty accepting the ambiguous definitions. If two robots get in a shoving match they could damage the rug but their design was approved if they used rubber wheels.
Sounds like the only answer for tracks is: It depends on the inspector.
- "cleat" vs tread
- "hard" vs soft
- "attached" vs fastened, bonded, affixed

I know time is short but is there a process to get an official ruling prior to the competition?
