Re: Can you extend outside your frame in recycle rush?

In addition to the sixty second setup/takedown, make sure your transformation takes less than sixty seconds with two people. Only drive teams are allowed onto the field to set up the machines in qualifications, and the way queuing works at events usually necessitates one person to go right to the alliance station wall and another person to wheel over the cart to another area.

So, only two people will be able to set up over the course of sixty seconds (you also may not want too many pairs of hands on your robot to make transforming more efficient). Depending on how elaborate your robot setup has to be, you will want to consider modularity in your design for parts extending outside of the TC, and train the drive team on expeditious setup.
