At every event I attended last year, a number of cloth measuring tapes were included in the supplies designated for robot inspectors.

If you haven't put your frame together yet, it would be easier to shorten it now rather than wait until it's assembled.

Re: Frame Perimeter Tolerance

Its better to go safe than being sorry. For design aim to be 4 inches less than frame perimeter. If needed this will allow the robot flexible later.:cool:

Re: Frame Perimeter Tolerance

At QCR last year, we had a piece of rope with 2 knots tied in it at 112". Unfortunately, it was rather difficult to measure exactly 112" because it stretched up to .25" or so. I was surprised we didn't use a soft measuring tape.

Re: Frame Perimeter Tolerance

When we used the sizing box, the robot had to fit, bolt heads and all. Now that bolt heads are not considered, this should be easier.
