Re: Robot Arm C
That's a strange thing... mine says shipped via ups on 8/31/12 at 8:26am... I hope it's true...

Re: Robot Arm C
Quick suggestion: I noticed on the soinc.org page for Robot Arm, it has last year's printable layout and such. That should probably be taken down as it could cause confusion for a lot of teams. I believe one of the chalkers is in charge of this.

Re: Robot Arm C
Unless the layout hasn't changed...have you gotten your rules and know for a fact that it has, or just presuming that the layout will be different?

Yup. I believe it was Mr. Anderson who said that they've tweaked the scorable items.mrsteven wrote:its different, one of the rule writers earlier wrote that the objects changed slightly

Good observation... we'll get it updated soon since there are indeed some changes.

Re: Robot Arm C
Generally rules take 3-4 weeks to get to you. It's not even been two weeks yet. Patience is a virtue.olympiaddict wrote:Anyone get a manual yet? Ordered mine like september 1st and I still haven't received it.
Physics is difficult for 99% of the world's population because they don't understand it. The other 1% know too much.

Re: Robot Arm C
The latest word as of this morning. Soinc received 250 copies of the "C" rules yesterday. They are shipping out those in the following sequence based on the shipping that you paid for 1. over nite, 2. next day, 3. second day, and
4. then the rest of us.
They were due to get another 500 copies today which they will send as many as possible out today and hopefully all of the rest of us tomorrow-Thursday. I think that there were about 650 orders for the "C" rules.
The printer was a lot less than honest with them. My thoughts are a bit stronger than this PC statement.
Evidently, the B rules were printed, but anyone that ordered anything with the "c" rules was delayed waiting for C.
I hope to get mine on Monday or Tuesday.
