Re: <R11> Dimension wrong?

Don,

Your analysis is correct if your robot is <<1in wide otherwise:

Draw a 30 x 38 rectangle. Then draw a 60" diameter circle. Make two points of the robot coincident to the circle ... observe. Believe me, it is brutal.

Also remember that due to the bumper rule this year, any mechanism that tried to go all the way to the floor will have to do it around the bumper. You just lost another 3 inches.

Paul
