2.2.9 GAME PIECES
While playing LogoMotion, HOSTBOTS manipulate GAME PIECES to accomplish the objectives of
the game. Each GAME PIECE is an inflatable object constructed of 0.3 mm thick vinyl. The body of
each GAME PIECE has a tubular cross-section, nominally between 7 and 8 inches in diameter at
their narrowest. The GAME PIECES are inflated to nominal size, not a specific pressure.
As has been said. If your robot clamp is constructed to fit an exact size, it might not have the ability to clamp down properly. They need to have flexibility built in.
