Lightbulb Re: Team 1711 prototype

By my interpretation of the rule their is no set limit vertically, as it would be rather difficult to raise a 40" diameter ball less than 80" and still manage for it to pass over an overpass that is 78" off of the groung that is why the rule specifically states an 80" circle in the horizontal plain.

There is no vertical restriction. Touch the ceiling if you want to. The 80" restriction is horizontal.

It doesn't say 80" horizontal circle. It says point to point measurement (the circle is an example).

Unlimited height is a good thing...

dude, we have almost the same design

7-11number1...we have practically the same design...just we dont use pneumatics to lift the arm
