Re: pic: Robot Bumpers

In my mind, a legal curve's minimum radius is functionally defined by your ability to bend a solid piece of 3/4" plywood around it without causing your bumper to break any rules (e.g. it must be backed all the way around by frame and remain rigid and strong).

This limit arguably excludes an even larger class of curves than the "I know a curve when I see it" test...
