Check Your Bumper Height
We spent a lot of time helping other teams move their bumpers up to pass inspections at their first event.
R22: BUMPERS must be located entirely within the BUMPER ZONE, which is the volume contained between two virtual horizontal planes, 4 in. above the floor and 12 in. above the floor, in reference to the ROBOT standing normally on a flat floor. BUMPERS do not have to be parallel to the floor. We saw many bots with bumpers below the 4" minimum. Inspection is not a great time to learn about that... :ahh: Good luck teams!! |
Re: Check Your Bumper Height
I would like to add the blue box and some week 1 observations.
Code:
This measurement is intended to be made as if the ROBOT is restingIf you have a lot of rock (pronounced center wheel/thread) make sure your bumpers are compliant at both extremes of the rock for a safety margin. If one extreme is out of the bumper zone, be prepared to demonstrate how no CG config of your will move you out of the zone. Keep in mind that elements attached to the bumper must also remain in the zone https://frc-qa.firstinspires.org/Que...4/questionlink Most creative solution I have seen to this was to "unlock" a set of 2 wheels on a rocker bar when going over the defenses. |
Re: Check Your Bumper Height
We have a robot that has 2 drive trains, wheels and treads, and made sure that if either is deployed we stay withing the bumper zone.
