Re: Two extensions under 14" boundaries
Joe,
The Update in question..."The carpet, the Bridge surfaces, and Keys are considered the flat floors – and thus are the reference planes for the Bumper Zone requirements. A Robot in a transitory state of crossing onto/off of a Bridge or Barrier is not considered to be on a flat floor."
When in a transitory state (only as listed) the robot by definition is not on a flat floor so the bumper zone cannot be determined, is what I believe the update is stating. During inspections we will be checking the bumper zone height when the robot is flat on the floor. As in the past, this will require teams to mount their bumpers during inspection. There may be robot designs that violate this rule.
