Re: Rule change suggestions for MARC 2010

Maybe early expansion if the intent is obviously to hang? I hated when you could tell people were trying to hang before the last 20 secs and they would get bumped off the tower for a sec while trying to line up, get a penalty and negate their effort. Also it would encourage more hanging. I havn't cross referanced the team list or anything, but I remember a ton of robot who took a long time to line up, would get it, and the buzzer would sound before they could lift. Many will chalk it up to design flaws, but it is the off season lets shoot for the most fun and not so many pesky rules.

Also I vote that ther should be a rule against high speed ramming. with the bumper zones where they are, alot of robots will flip if high speed rammed. trust me... we did and our CG is like 2 inches off the ground.
