Re: 2nd Most Awaited Q and A Answer?

There have been 2 questions asked upon this topic.

FRC148:
Game - The Game » Robot Actions » G21
Q. Recent G21 rulings may make any wheel,gear,roller,etc on an appendage illegal. There will ALWAYS be a moment between when the wheel edge and the center shaft cross the frame perimeter that a discontiguous piece of wheel will be outside the FP. Is this intended? Are all wheels on appendages illegal?

FRC1619:
Game - The Game » Robot Actions » G21
Q. In light of the Q&A responses restricting an appendage design well beyond the actual wording in the manual, will the manual be updated? Otherwise, teams designing to the current manual’s appendage definition could seemingly have more design freedom versus teams that have followed the Q&A responses.

I hope that this either opens up the interpretation, or completely answers any and all questions once and for all (until the next update).
