Re: spinning kickers
If I understand you correctly, that this arm swings parallel to the ground, you probably shouldn't have it continuously spin.
Rule G30 says this:
ROBOT Volume – During a MATCH, no part of the ROBOT shall extend outside the vertical projection of the FRAME PERIMETER, except as follows:
a. BALL Interaction Volume – Solely for the purposes of interacting with a BALL, MECHANISMS that are below the BUMPER may extend up to the BUMPER PERIMETER, for a period not exceeding two seconds. After returning inside the FRAMER PERIMETER, such MECHANISMS are not permitted to re-extend beyond the FRAME PERIMETER for at least two seconds.
Basically, you cannot have the arm extending out of your frame for more than 2 seconds at a time and cannot come back outside until another 2 seconds has passed.
What would be best is to control this arm, not have it continuously going out and in.
Hope this helps!
