Re: Robot Arm C
So new rule changes?
Right now it looks like there will likely be a new segment added which will likely be lifting an object as high as possible

Or at very least some sort of variable scoring, which is good; I really dislike events with a maximum score.harryk wrote:So new rule changes?

I wonder, if not lifting an object as high as possible, what the variable will be...any hints, chalkers/jander/other informed individual?

Re: Robot Arm C
Soinc.org has officially posted the 2013 rules for sale today. So, hopefully, they will mail it out today for those that prepaid.
Somehow, I do not like the idea of a height bonus.
IE: answers soon.

Re: Robot Arm C
I like the height bonus, course all I have to do is measure it....
Comment, its not a large bonus, until you can get a near perfect score with everything else, it may not be worth spending a LOT of time on.
Note, please spend a little time on it, I HATE ties.

Re: Robot Arm C
So the height bonus is in play...it will be interesting to see how it's worded.
Anyone have any basic ideas about how they're going to go about this?

Re: Robot Arm C
Well my arm is already about 4ft tall... So as long as it fits the rules, I'm just going to lift something with the arm and hold it there.
