Question Clarification
I am going to reform a question posted by one of our members last week to hopefully clarify what information we are looking for. In the rules, it states that the robot must fit unrestrained in a 30" cube exclusive of the beacon. We would like to know what exactly "beacon" refers to. Is the entire flashing light assembly with the shiny base, spinning motor, and all? Or is it just the part with the translucent colored plastic? There is a difference of over 2 inches between the two definitions.

I would also like to know if the ON/OFF switch and the antenna count towards the total height of the robot. I would assume so, but I thought I would ask anyway.

A prompt response to these questions is appreciated.

Thanks
