[Jon Stratis]

subzero - it sounds like you have a problem. I'll be one of the LRI's up in Duluth for your event (there are 6 of us between the two events this year... it's overkill, but useful for a week 1 event!), and I just sent you a PM if you want more direct help.

The gist of the rules is that your 120" frame perimeter is determined by wrapping a string around the robot. In this case, it seems that the strings will wrap around the wheels. Is this distance greater than 120"? If it's not, then we have some room to work with. The bigger issue is bumpers - you need to be able to properly mount bumpers outside of those wheels. That means extending some frame into the corners of the robot and the ends of the bumpers (if you do 8" bumpers from each corner. if you cover the entire side, you'll need additional supports). As a second year team, you haven't had to deal with bumpers before... definitely something to get addressed now!
