Re: Perimeter Details

Go to Q&A for the official answer, but...

The frame perimeter needs to be established by non-articulated (non-moving) parts of your robot. Also, the frame perimeter limit is 112" with no tolerance. 112 inches is 112 inches is 112 inches. Your robot must start entirely within that perimeter (with the exception of MINOR protrusions like bolt heads).

So, unless your wheels somehow start within the 112" perimeter and then slide outward after match start, you're not in compliance with the starting configuration rule. Also, a wheel is generally accepted to be neither a minor protrusion or non-articulated.
