Re: FRC 2009 - Lunacy

The thing I really like about Lunacy is that it really goes outside the box. It's way different from past games, and is uniquely challenging. I am worried about mocking up the field... my team checked online and the stuff we found was really expensive and really heavy.

Also, some stuff that I found while diving through the manual:

Quote:
<R11>
At the start of, and during, the MATCH the ROBOT shall fit within the dimensions listed below:
Maximum Width: 28 inches (71.12cm)
Maximum Depth: 38 inches (96.52cm)
Maximum Height: 60 inches (152.40cm)
If I'm reading that rule right, it means we're stuck within the starting dimensions for the entire game, not just the start. However, rules <R12> and <R16> seem to contradict it (there's no reason to have to rubber-band your bot into the starting dimensions if it's never allowed to leave them). Am I misreading things?

Because if I'm not, this is going to add a huge about of complexity to the design process.
