Section 5.II.d: ...Teams are allowed to start and stop the blade assembly rotation and reposition the support stand during the set-up period. Any energy that the team has added to start the blade (e.g. manually giving the blade a push) must have disappated by the end of the set-up period so that only the wind from the fan powers the blade assembly.
