May the toothbrush be removed for weighing such that the toothpaste is wiped from the end of the tube, or must the machine separate the deposited toothpaste from the tube?
The toothbrush will be removed from the machine by the team captain and placed on the judge’s scale by the team captain. If the toothpaste falls off, is pulled off, or otherwise caused to leave the surface of the brush, the machine will be determined to be ineffective. If the team determines that it will not weigh in within the target weight, the team will have the balance of their 15 mintues to give it another try. The task is not complete until the toothpaste/brush is weighed. The rules allow the team captain to separate the deposited toothpaste in the act of removing the toothbrush from the machine.
