Re: New size/bumper rules that every team should know
Quote from engunneer:
the KOP frame has always been bigger than legal, so the team can decide which way is front and so the team can decide where to cut. I'm far more worried (as an inspector) about teams not realizing the bumpers must be inside the size box.
But people must also be careful that the bumpers are not at the edges of the volume if they need any manipulators to extend beyond them because you cannot exceed the total volume at any point in the game
R03. Maximum ROBOT size, including BUMPERS and all extensions, must be constrained to one of two volumes:
A. 36in.by40in.by24in.tall(~91cmby101cmby60cmtall).
B. 30in.by32in.by36in.tall(~76cmby81cmby91cmtall).
The ROBOT must remain constrained to the maximum inspected volume at all times during the MATCH (i.e. A ROBOT may not switch between volume A and volume B without being re- inspected).
Sorry I'm not better at quoting things properly, but this is a big change that bears discussion.
