Re: Gear Collector Protruding
 
Hi Folks,
I had the gear collection team mount the collector on the robot
today; part of it appears to protrude into the bumper perimeter.
Can this be an issue at inspection?

In short yes. All mechanisms needs to start within your frame perimeter. If you have a picture we can better help you fix it

Thanks for the help. I believe the team can fix it, they
just needed corroboration on the rule.

The rule that you are looking for is R02:

For the definition of FRAME PERIMETER, see R01:

G04/R02/R03 if you team wants specific rules.

B. 30 in. by 32 in. by 36 in. tall (~76 cm by 81 cm by 91 cm tall).
The ROBOT must remain constrained to the maximum inspected volume at all times during the
MATCH (i.e. A ROBOT may not switch between volume A and volume B without being reinspected).

Edit: Seriously? Sniped every time by Hallry. I don't understand.
