Hi Tom, While this isn't an official venue through which to express manners, are you able to offer insight on the height factoring? There was no update pushed out to my coach nor any other coach that I have spoke with. If the height factoring was used, this doesn't seem evidently fair to the competi...

At the NC Mockvitational (Mini), Gravity Vehicle was still run, the only building event besides Sounds of Music. My partner and I had some trouble trying to film while showing the measurements and everything for every run. The fact that our tape measure wasn't the given length didn't help at all, a...

Compared to what? Past robotics events? Because making the blanket statement "many past build events" is simply not true.

I wonder what this events holds for this year

I feel sorry for the people who did not get the chance to compete at regionals and states, but I feel like retaining the same rules will mess up some team's composition because teams are always planning for the incoming years. No one would expect the rules to continue. This also will mean that the ...
