Re: Horizontal Bar: Vertical Velocity
Rule <G08> states: Mechanisms which interact with the Pull-Up Bar are limited to a maximum tip velocity (relative to the ROBOT) of 10 feet per second.
Two questions:
1) Does tip mean the tip of a projectile or does tip mean tipping as in falling velocity?
2) If it is the latter, wouldn't that eliminate the possibility for all bar interaction? Your robot has to extend to 9' to get to the top of the bar and if you are tipped, the top part of your robot is certainly coming down at a velocity greater than 10 ft/s.
I'm really trying to simply interpret the rules, but tip is a bad word to use.
