Alright, So I think we know what to post to there Q&A forum. But i did figure out the gate latch thing, theres a Velcro strap that secure's it in the up position so the coach has to walk around lift up the gate and Velcro it up. I found this looking at appendix A. Hope this helps.

I think this is referring to either teams entering the field or taking their robots and leaving. I guess its just there to ensure an orderly transition between matches.

Ah, that makes sense. I feel stupid now :P
They really made it sound like its a situation during the game haha.

Does anybody know if the gate has to be latched back at the 30 second mark, or just be in the process of doing so?

It works fine for me. Its a ZIP file. I will PM you with a link to a google docs file of it. PM me if anyone else would like the google docs link.

Hope this helps,

EDIT: Here is the google docs link for a ZIP file of appendix A: https://docs.google.com/leaf?id=0B2j...uthkey=CMyJoUY

I was at the unveiling and I talked to the guys in charge of the design, they said that there will be a Velcro strap to hold the wall up. Honestly, there should have been an automatic latching mechanism that had to be released to put the side down, in the rush of things, I bet a coach will forget it one match, and since the loading zone is so close to the wall, it might get bumped and come crashing down on a robot. :eek: Hopefully that never happens. :)

Thanks, Duke, that helped a lot. I've really wanted to know how wide in diameter those goals were :rolleyes:

Blender http://www.blender.org/

This is probably one of the best free ones. Especially given all the support online for it.

Don't really know why this was in this particular thread.
