Re: Scaling via jack up legs instead of "hanging"?

Today's team update makes it pretty clear that jack up legs are not legal.

This topic is getting covered pretty thoroughly on the team update thread.

Additions include:

Quote:
G19-1
ROBOTS must be in compliance with
Section 4.7: BUMPER Rules
throughout the MATCH.
Violation: DISABLED
Quote:
R22 Blue box added.

This measurement is intended to be made as if the ROBOT is resting
on a flat floor (without changing the ROBOT configuration), not relative
to the height of the ROBOT from the FIELD carpet.
Examples include:
A.
A ROBOT that is at an angle while traversing a DEFENSE has its
BUMPERS outside the BUMPER ZONE. If this ROBOT were virtually
transposed onto a flat floor, and its BUMPERS are in the BUMPER
ZONE, it meets the requirements of R22.
B.
A ROBOT deploys a MECHANISM which lifts the BUMPERS outside
the BUMPER ZONE (when virtually transposed onto a flat floor). This
violates R22.
The second part of the R22 blue box seems to be a direct ruling on jack up scaling.

Re-Edit. Dagnabit. Sniped.
Edit: 100th post; woohoo. Only took me 5 years.
