We're intending to show the inspectors that the robot will sit on flat ground with any orientation of the suspension and keep the bumpers within the bumper zones. This should satisfy R22 without question, but we'll also bring our team's best lawyer just in case.
Thanks for sharing! We have similar ideas going on! (the final product will be very different, but the ideas are similar lol) Hopefully we will have something to show soon too!
