Re: 2005 FRC Team Update 13
Many people on our team were concerned that our extreme low rider chassis would get stuck on the triangle. As it turns out, we may be lucky in the fact that we "bottom out" on the triangle. We dont get stuck on it, but we do contact it when we drive up on it.
Anyone who is using the kitbot chassis could easily zip tie a skirt on to the front of their machine using the holes in the chassis. People with custom frames, good luck finding a solution at the events. I am sure there will be many people with good idea to help you out. As for the teams who flop over and increase your footprint, I am sure that FIRST will figure out your dilemma.
Maybe it would be easiest if they simply said that "the base of the chassis must be over the triangle" and have the refs make judgement calls on what constitutes the chassis. I am sure this will be cleared up during the drivers/refs meeting on the morning of the first day.
Good luck to everyone!
