Re: Internal robot parts contacting floor (non-wheel)

Paul,
Your mechanism will be evaluated as to it's effect on the bumper zone and the max volume. If it exerts enough force with the floor it is likely going to modify at least those two areas of the rules.
Specifically if your mechanism is meant to raise the robot to facilitate climbing, it may be a violation of those rule areas above. Bumper zone is evaluated as if the robot was sitting on a flat floor with the mechanism in use.
