Personally I think.. +/- 1" is a pretty wide margin on a robot with max 18" dimensions. Remember we're trying to do this is autonomous mode..
All the fields I've seen the wall sits on the floor. So I think the 18 1/2" should be from the floor. I agree with you about the +/- 1" tolerence being too large.
