Re: Are extensions with bumpers after the start of the game legal

Here is an updated design that incorporates all of the feedback we received. We ordered the wrong cylinders so those will need to be fixed. We are 82 in long and fit into an 83.75 in radius with the pseudo bumpers. This will be a blocking robot with 4 CIMS, 8x 8” wheels, and we will launch the mini bot from the center section on the top. We will retrrack the extensions prior to moving to deploy the monibot.

We still have to figure out if that break in the bumper is OK. if not we have to figure out another way to get the extensions down. We are planning on making each extension close to 25lb by putting some of the heavy system components in them.
