We have a similar design on our robot (check it out here) and received some feedback from inspectors that we should possibly redesign for the next competition considered rule R7. Did you get similar feedback from the inspectors? I'm wondering how this rule will be enforced at later events. |

If the ROBOT includes protrusions that form the “leading edge” of the ROBOT as it drives and have a surface area of less than 1 in. it will invite detailed Inspection. For example, forklifts, lifting arms, or grapplers may be carefully Inspected for these hazards.
