Re: Horizontal Bar: Vertical Velocity

This is interesting, because this maximum velocity is relative to the robot. They did not think this through, because technically, whatever is being sent over the bar is part of the robot. This means that relative to itself, it isn't moving. They need to mention something about this, because I believe that they mean that the mechanisms cannot exceed 10 f/s. Or if it is in reference to the base of the robot, will someone make a jumping robot so the mechanism relative to the robot is not traveling more than 10 f/s, but is traveling faster relative to the field?

And 10.55 f/s is not an extra half a foot more than 10.5 f/s. 0.05 feet is approximately half an inch.
