Re: Bumper question
Guys,
If you run the numbers on the diagonal of a 5" high vertical pool noodle you will find it to be 6"+. If you tilt the robot in crossing the barrier, the bumper diagonal will place the front edge of the bumper above 10" regardless of where the bumper is mounted. Please note that the GDC responded Friday with a Team Update that speaks directly to this condition.
"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."
