Bumper question
4.1.6 Bumper Rules
Robots are required to use Bumpers to protect all exterior vertices of the Frame Perimeter. For adequate protection, at least 8 in. of Bumper must be placed on each side of each exterior vertex(see Figure 4‑1, Figure 4‑2, and Figure 4‑3).
OK this is a very important rule as far as robot design is concerned. I hate waiting for answers from the GDC for things like this because it is so important.
While we wait for Q&A to open what are peoples opinion on the 8 in. of Bumper must be placed on each side of each exterior vertex thing?
Will that include the 2.5" beyond the corner or is it from the corner? this makes a 5" difference in possible bumper openings for ball pickup. Opinions?
