I was swayed by Calums arguement at dinner--

if the rules for BoP were changed to--

your 'bot must fit within the end of the beam and the 1 foot mark, as well as be
under 2 feet 'tall' at hte start of the match.

This would not preclude the 'bot from extending a telescopic tower down to the
ground after the start of the match.

This would have the additional challenge of a 'bot that's capable of extending a
telescopic tower down to the ground in under a 2 foot by 1 foot 'bot, as well as
havning that 'bot compete against a gravity 'bot--we al saw what hapened to my
'bot at the begninning of most competitions--the beam went vertical and my 'bot
sometimes smashed into the support beam--any telescopinc 'bot would have to
build for that...
