Re: Beware of R16 your robot design may be too big.
And even if the robot is mechanically capable of leaving the 80" cylinder area, code can allow for mechanisms to be in the right position at all times. (ie: a double jointed arm)

The manual does not outline a process for checking this violation and it is not in the inspection checklist. As I see it now the rule is way to vague to be able to follow correctly. Hopefully they will respond in the Q&A or in the next team update.

Does anybody recall any penalties handed out for this rule last year?
