Re: Wide C-Base Frame Corners
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Step 1: take some flat, bendable material like a piece of sheet metal, thin (1/8" max) polycarbonate, cardboard, or even heavy paper** if you must.
Step 2: cut one 4"x1" strip of said material for each corner where this is an issue.
Step 3: fold each strip in half to get an "L" that measures 2" on each side.
Step 4: Glue, bolt, rivet, secure with mounting tape, velcro, or zip-tie in place.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Congratulations, you have now re-defined your frame perimeter to make your robot legal by the letter of the rules.
**a very strict inspector might not count paper since the flexibility allows for some noticeable change in shape which could be considered to be a violation of the requirement for the frame perimeter to be non-articulating.
