Re: Spare parts

Any deer netting must conform to these rules...

[R02]
The Robot must satisfy the following size constraints:
A. horizontal dimensions must not exceed 28 by 38 in.,
B. the absolute height must not exceed 84 in.,
C. the height of the Robot at the start of the match must not exceed 60 in.,
D. any appendage may not extend more than 14 in. beyond the frame perimeter, and
E. no other part of the Robot may extend beyond the vertical projection of the Frame Perimeter
(with the
exception of minor protrusions permitted per [R01-2]).

And...

[R08]
Robot parts shall not be made from hazardous materials, be unsafe, cause an unsafe condition, or interfere with
the operation of other Robots.
Examples of items that will violate this rule include (but are not limited to):
A. Shields, curtains, or any other devices or materials designed or used to obstruct
or limit the vision of any drivers and/or coaches and/or interfere with their ability to
safely control their Robot


Entanglement is always an issue and is assessed by the inspector during inspection of your robot at every event you attend.
