The  release of the Big Water from the Pump System that Fox BLOCSS asks about is not worth points for M02.  M02 requires that the Big Water is moved only by turning the valves, not by hitting the Pump System.

Hi everyone!  We have a question about them M02 Flow Mission.  (Resending since I think my original email had a mailing failure)

Sometimes our robot will miss hitting the 2 valves to push down (to release the water), but then our attachment hits the middle portion when the robot lifts the attachment back up - and the water will release then.  Is that acceptable if the robot releases the water by moving the middle part instead of the the 2 valves?

Thanks!
