Hello all,
Our robot has been having some trouble getting over the barrier that we built based off of the Team Field Drawings, but we now believe that the drawings might be incorrect.
According to page 72 of the Game Specific Drawings for the competition fields, the top of the barrier is exactly 4 inches above the carpet, as shown below.
However, page 3 of the Team Field Drawings has teams building the barrier with a piece of 1/2 inch plywood on the bottom, followed by a 2x4 (of course actually 1.5 x 3.5), and then another smaller piece of 1/2 inch plywood on top. Added all up, that would give the barrier a total height of 4.5 inches, as shown below.
Have any other teams notice this? Has it caused any problems for your robot? If so, what have you done about it?
Thanks in advance.
