Go to Post Polycord. It was used in all sorts of ball systems in 2009, and on some of the 2007 claws. It's not too hard to fuse together by hand with some heat and patience. - AustinSchuh [more]

The 469 scheme effectively allows ONLY THEM to operate within an expanded (vertically) playing field, where no opponent can reach to defend or contest with them for the returning balls. Because they can lock into this position effectively and expand mechanisms into a game critical zone, while their opponents aren't allowed to expand to their size at this critical spot on the field, and because the single defending bot in their scoring zone can't defend two goals as fast as they can switch between which goal they target, it is near impossible to effectively counter this strategy.

I don't see any reasons why letting bots expand while touching opponents towers would cause any real problems, but it would certainly help to eliminated the one-sided advantage that 469 has shown is possible using this looping scheme in the well executed way that they have accomplished it.
-Dick Ledford
So let me get this right. You want the GDC to change the rules because 469 has built an efficient robot that scores in droves, is legal, and that you cannot figure out how to stop.

Do I have that right?
