Hi,
From the rules that I read, it seems like everything in the box is hands-off. And we don’t plan on modifying any of the pieces. But…can we change the placement of, say, the battery and the robot controller in order to make replacing the battery easier with our current design? Thanks.

Answer:
Please do not rearrange things inside the box.
I know that some times the rules seem unreasonable, but we usually have reasons for things. Mostly, we are trying to keep things safe, fair and re-useable next year.
While many teams may be able to move things around without causing any problems at all, there are other teams that could inadvertantly destroy a whole lot of equipment without really trying.
So… Please keep the insides of the robot controller box just as you found them.
