GDC at it again!

I'd take a licking with a pool noodle or surgical tubing over one with PVC pipe or aluminum bar stock, any day!

Apparently you've never been flailed with surgical tubing. It can take skin off down to the bone (don't ask )

Actually. I chose the PVC pipe or aluminum bar stock. There is less grip on those, thus easier to rip out of the other persons had. The are also heavier and slower, so it is a longer swig. All make running away or counter attacking easier.

... it's discussions like these why I just love FIRST

I saw the title of this thread and expected it to be people complaining about the GDC saying "RTFM!!" (where F of course stands for FIRST)...

But instead I was happy to see it was about the GDC actually having a sense of humor... whew!!

Although to be semi-technical, I think that the 883 number would go against the definition of ROBOT which includes:

The ROBOT implementation must obviously follow a design approach intended to play the 2010 FRC game (e.g. a box of unassembled parts placed on the FIELD, or a ROBOT designed to play a different game, would not satisfy this definition).

The 102 number has a much more likely chance to comply with the definition of ROBOT :-D
