Critical Field Specs
Hi,
I have a simple request which I was hoping the GDC could help me out with.
Sometimes it is difficult to figure out the dimensions of some things on this playing field because of the nature of the field drawings.

Basically... it seems as though the field drawings are created from a "manufacturing & assembly" standpoint. They don't always include the critical dimensions that teams care about. Sometimes it takes a loooooong time to dig through the drawings and find/calculate the dimension.

Any chance we can get a "critical dimensions for robot design" drawing packet? I know there are some robot designers involved with the GDC and I bet they could pretty quickly figure out which dimensions teams want. Please? Please?

Please?

Thanks!
-John
