Re: Size of platform?

The official field drawings call for the tunnel to be built to be 16.5" inside height, but as previously noted, it sits on a 1.5" C-Channel and .25" base plate. Also there is a carpeted plywood floor protector sitting on top of the field carpet which then reduces your clearance by a half inch plus one carpet thickness..

Field building tolerances being what they are, you could find your robot stuck inside if it's more than 17 to 17.5" tall.
