Joystick Worries
I have just discovered a rule that I beleive to be new. In section 4.2 of the robot manual, rule C1, it says that, among other things, a joystick "may not be tampered with, modified, or adjusted in any way." It goes on to say that "Tampering includes drilling, cutting, machining, gluing, rewiring, etc."
This disturbs me because in the past my team and I have always drilled holes in the bottom of the joystick to mount it, we have occasionally rewired them so that the digital switches are outside of the joystick, and we have always epoxied the calibration knobs in place to avoid them being moved and messing up our programming. Can someone "tell me it ain't so?" Thanks.

I think its great that some teams are 100% student built; but I would also hope that 100% of their students are mentor advised. - =Martin=Taylor= [more]
