Re: Autonomous/Robot Size/ Rope Rules
For rope height above the floor, if you were to do the minimum rope length (5'3"), the height that the bottom of the rope would be off of the floor = 17.44" + the length of the knot that holds your rope in the davit. This is from the length the rope drapes over the davit (5.25" on top + 18.19" down the side) added to the height of the davit over the floor (4'10"). Your knot will be a part of the inspection length, so you can make a big knot to hold into the davit, and that will lift the rope off the floor a little more. (Note: for max rope length (8'0") the rope will drape 7.56" on the floor - the knot length) I hope this helps, and saves at least a few others the search.
