Tote CAD model dimensional error

Caution to all teams using the provided CAD models of field elements (STEP,Solidworks and Inventor) to design mechanisms to manipulate the totes.

First off, the length and height of the totes compared between the CAD model, game manual and physical measurements are the same (at least within 0.03" based on average measurements on the 5 totes we had)

The width in the game manual and the physical measurements match, but the CAD width is narrower by about 0.625"

Physical width = 16.875"
Game Manual = 16.9"
CAD model = 16.25"

Since I would consider a sample size of 5 small, please verify and comment on your findings to the contrary or agreement.

I've contacted the FIRST Autodesk rep and he is going to track down a corrective action. In the meantime, you can use the solid model modification tools to add the differential width at your discretion. It looks like the "lip" or undercut distance is accurate.
