Q. Our team plans to build a tester to evaluate different structures. I want to confirm the weight of the structure should weigh no more than 15 grams, whereas the vehicle is a min. of 171 grams. At all competitions except World Finals, the structure must weigh 15 grams or less. At all competitions the vehicle must weigh at least 171 grams. No, it is not wrong.
Lamination is permitted.
A. Pencil marks may be used for sanding as well as cutting and marking of attachment areas. This is shown to indicate that this construction is also legal since it does not keep the piece of wood designated as the Achilles Heel from touching the bottom of the tester base. A. Other pieces may touch the Achilles' Heel so long as the vehicle hits the actual Achilles' Heel and not pieces that do not meet the requirement for the Achilles' Heel. Figure B makes it appear that the Achilles Heel must be a leg of the structure. Any piece that meets the limitations of the Achilles' Heel is a leg of the structure.
