Re: Ground clearance

I concur with IKE

FIRST has a tendency to put plywood and metal plates as field element bases under the carpet, and most of the time that results in about a 1/2" lip in the carpet. I've seen many robots over many years get hung up or spun around when they hit one at the wrong angle, or get pushed over it. Not worth risking when it's easily avoided.
