Re: What exactly is "Articulating"?

When the Q&A system comes live on wed have your team leader ask a question. Until then all of the responses are just speculation.





My interpretation of the intent of the rule is to make sure on flat ground there is only bumper to bumper contact. When you are climbing the ramp at roughly 45 degrees any robot with fixed bumpers within the zone will rise out of the bumper zone until they are on fixed ground again.


But I would wait for the Q&A before making a design decision.
