Pyramid bar height

[nickhilgupta]

Is it 30 inches till the bottom of the pipe, center of the pipe, or the top?

[Short Stuff]

It is thirty inches high to the center of the bar

Is it possible to get this clarified in the rules? How would I go about getting this done?

It's pretty clear from the game specific drawings with some trig.

The game manual under Arena 2.2.5: http://www.usfirst.org/sites/default/files/uploadedFiles/Robotics_Programs/FRC/Game_and_Season__Info/2013/2013_Game_Specific_Drawings.pdf

Has a centerline at 30", 60", 90"


If your robot can't deal with the difference in height between the bar being at 30" to the top or 30" to the middle, you need to reconsider your design. Field variation alone could affect that height.
