Could I start my battery buggy 10 cm backwards from the starting point?
so if i aligned it and then rolled it back a bit, then started it.

I'm pretty sure the rules specify that the buggy must start on the starting point.

it is because we have measurements every 20 cm and if we set it back 10 we can get the .1s and everything

Ohhh nvm
I thought the "s" was referring to seconds, not making the increment plural. Thanks for clearing that up.

haha so we have the measurements every .2 meters, so if we move our car back 10 cm, or .1 meter, we can get the measurements in the middle.
I am asking if we are allowed to move the car back.
