snatching up all the little mice
Just wondering if you think this situation would be a problem...
Our team has an arm which grabs balls and throws them into our onboard basket, lets say I happened to grab someone's little tether "mouse" or whatever you like to call them with our hand and threw it in our basket or placed it in another endzone or a million other various things. Could this be classified as pinning or break any other rule? I've looked it over and it seems fine to me, we wouldn't be damaging anything after all ... just wondering what you think. Blasted little things... asher |

We almost got to try at GLR, but it got away. I don't think it would be a problem except that some don't have a long enough cord to get to your endzone. I think 66 could go around the field 3 times with all the wire on that little thing.
I can't wait to see someone do it. |

At Long Island, there was one team (I forget which number, though..) who had a mouse device.. really, really annoying for us other teams, it won them 3 or 4 Q-round matches.
However, one of the teams (again, I forget who) in the last qualifying round decided it would be good idea to ram a goal into it while it was waiting in their endzone. It really damaged it (they were able to rebuild it before their next match) and pinned it there, but the robot still counted anyway for 10. The judges there not only accepted this, but lauded it, and cited it when giving them an award. (They also won "Play of the Day," too.) So, mice are fair game to play with. I would pay to see one get lifted up and thrown into a basket, though.. that would be absolutely hilarious. |

we were in that match in Long Island, there was a lot of controversy between our alliance (358,56) against 329 (mouse team) and some other team. Whats done is done. I forget whether or not it was on purpose but we told 358 to hit the goal in the zone closest to our endzone and they caught a mouse in the deal. Great job in Long Island and other competitions to everyone. Make sure we keep the playing field fair and nice.

I will grab a mouse before its all said and done, and I'll be sure to post some video somewhere
 , even if we don't do well we hope to do quite a few things to make everyone laugh. Of course if I told you what they were it wouldn't be so funny later, you'll soon see...asher |
