Can one person hold the string while another cuts it for the triggering action?

Posted by: BAILEY in Uncategorized

If one person is holding the pendulum or bob by a string, then NO, another person cannot cut that string and it be considered an allowable trigger.

One suggestion would be for the device to be holding the string that’ll be cut, not a person!    So when the string is cut, the device is triggered and the pendulum begins its motion away from the triggered location on the device (not away from a human holding the pendulum or string).

This rule is important as judges need to be sure that no human (team member) has the opportunity to provide additional direct energy to the motion (or triggering) of the device.
