1. if you have a foam thingy on the bottom of your wheels, and the weight of the robot presses it into the mesh so part of it protrudes through, is that in violation of the rules?
I suspect there will be a clarification on this one at some point, but I can envision part of robot inspection including placing your robot on mesh like that on the field and a straight edge run under the wheels or tracks of the robot to check for protrusion. This, of course, is just a guess.
