Re: Limit Switches and 54 Inches

Jake,
You will be asked if your robot can extend beyond the 54" limit during inspection. If the robot can but you have a program feature that prevents that, you will be asked to demonstrate it. There is risk involved here. Even though you take steps in software to limit your dimension, if it should exceed that during match play due to a software error or some other kind of failure, you may encounter one of the penalties outlined in The Game manual.
