Re: 2nd Most Awaited Q and A Answer?
Our design uses a "clam-shell" style appendage that will come together to drop a ball for the short-range shooter.
It is my understanding that as long as the frame perimeter is only crossed once, the appendage can fork off into multiple appendages (say 7" out for example). Would a clam-shell design that is hinged WITHIN the frame perimeter be considered two appendages, even though it is mechanically contiguous? |

An update:
[G21]Robots may extend one appendage up to 14 in. beyond a single edge of their frame perimeter at any time. Violation: Foul for exceeding size allotments; Technical-Foul for continuous or repeated violations. These appendages are intended for use in manipulating Basketballs and/or Bridges. A Robot may have multiple extension devices onboard, but only one may be deployed at a given time. All portions of an appendage that are outside the Frame Perimeter must be contiguous with each other. Very brief violations of the contiguity requirement as a single appendage is being extended or retracted will not be penalized. |

Re: 2nd Most Awaited Q and A Answer?
Not to squash the feelings of jubilation after this latest update, but it does bring into question another issue. In a couple of recent Q&A answers:

If I had an appendage whose primary function is other than for manipulating the Basketballs or Bridges, I would ask for clarification from the GDC as soon possible. |
