Hey in case anyone cares to know the top 2 scores for Robot Arm at our state competition (Missouri) were 350 and 344

All right, you can't have any of the pennies leave the testing base boundaries. At the invite yesterday, we lost the entire south-west stack because a corner of the stack of pennies went over the tape. We would need another joint on our arm so we could pull the stack inwards before sliding it. I ...

So for those of us who aren't fortunate enough to have a coach who went to the summer institute, would someone be willing to share pictures of the draft rules? I can't wait to start planning for next year and I'd love to start as soon as possible.

Thanks!

Anyone know what the winning time was?
