Re: Frame Perimeter Tolerance

Please, please, please DO NOT BUILD YOUR FRAME 28 x 28!!!!

Let's assume you get your robot together perfectly, with absolutely no extra width or length, you pass your inspection, and play all your matches. Then, you go to pass inspection, and you robot is suddenly 112.5" in frame perimeter. How? When you got the corner of your frame smushed in because you drove into a wall and were hit by another robot, the frame perimeter changed, and you got too big. It's happened to us before, and the last thing an inspector wants to tell you is that your frame is 0.5" too big, and the last thing you want to do is make your frame smaller. It's really, really hard. Trust me....
