Rule G23-1A question
 

In rule G23 it says:

Some of our teammates are disagreeing, when it says "relative to the robot" does that mean if our bot goes up sideways our cylinder is now horizontal?

Re: Rule G23-1A question
 

This was clarified by Q&A. If your robot fits in a 54" diameter right cylinder, it's good, assuming that it doesn't violate G23-1-B.

Re: Rule G23-1A question
 

G23 applies while your robot is not touching the pyramid. Then your robot has to fit inside a 54 in cylinder relative to the floor.

G23-1A applies when your robot is touching the pyramid. The latest interpretation from the GDC is that your robot is legal when touching the pyramid if it always fits inside a 54" diameter by 84" tall cylinder in ANY orientation. That is, if you can think of a way to turn a 54" x 84" cylinder so that your robot fits inside it, then you're legal.

Thanks a lot for clearing that up. Saved our design big time.
