Withholding the Robot

[Tanner]

I found this thread interesting. Basically people arguing over whether a robot can be withheld as long as it is under 65 lbs.

Now Update 13 says you can bring a less-than-completed robot <65lbs as long as it is in >2 pieces.

*me thinks that is still unfair*

*cuts robot in half* "There, lets bring it in tomorrow."

Had we known about this update before we had crated and shipped, basically, we could have just shipped a basic fabricated frame and kept all the other 65 pounds worth of fabricated items and continued to work. Some teams have.

My idea was to basically gut the robot. Send everything except for the frame, wheels, and motors. So then we could've spent a decent day to work on getting a new set of guts on the t-bot.

I guess it really didn't pick up steam cause it was a "what we'd have to do on Thursday" vs. what we can do quickly on Thursday and hit the practice rounds hard.
