If these drawings are official, then it seem the GDC did not intend for robots to attach to the towers using the vertical posts. If they did, then these drawings are invalid for the official game.
Someone need to post a clarifying question in Q&A about this. |
Ken,
That drawing is for the low-cost field for teams to practice on and in this case does not accurately portray the official field due to different material (1-1/2" steel tubing vs 4x4) .
