Re: Important 80 inches!!!

It is the inspectors job to determine if a robot can exceed 80 inches, it is the team's job to make sure it never does, and it is the referees job to assess penalties if it gets too large. Many robots are mechanically capable of exceeding 80" (my team's robot is one), but the code prevents it from happening, and thus there is no penalty. The little dots just mark if a robot can exceed 80 inches, they don't mean that, in normal operation, it does.
