re: "After Inspection" Dimensions
 
Hi folks,

A current topic of discussion by our team is whether a physical device can go beyond the dimensions that are used during inspection. Any help would be most appreciated

Read R03/G04 very carefully. As long as your robot in total (when the manipulator is deployed) is smaller than the MAX VOLUME for your chosen configuration, but starts within your FRAME PERIMETER, you're good.

Short answer: No.

The entire robot including bumpers and all extendable appendages must stay within the one of two volumes you choose. <R03>

I'm guessing that during inspection you will be asked to move everything to their maximum extension.

that is generally what we do, yes.

some teams make mechanisms that are capable of violating the volume requirement, but use software or other mechanisms to ensure that they are compliant during the match. This is OK, but the Robot inspectors tell the refs to keep an eye out on those robots.

Be Very careful that NOTHING is extended over your " frame perimeter" defined as the part of your robot that your bumpers attach to. So if you look down at your robot and any part of your robot is over your bumpers. This is Not legal to start the game. Better to fix it now than latter.:ahh:

that only applies to Starting the match. Once Autonomus has started, the robot can extend to the maximum permitted by the volume rule.
