Official - Mike Martus Goal 9/15

Many persons have asked about the dimensions on the goals.

Justin is working on a better list of measurements.

I have built both goals and have some insight:

1. Not all 3/4 plywood is 3/4. Did you know that if the plywood is from Canada it is metric and smaller by almost 1/16.

2. Not all 2 X 4 are 1 1/2 X 3 1/2. They vary as much as 1/8 depending upon the mill they were from.

This means that you may have to tweak your goal a little to get the desired effect.

Justin will post the exact model of caster from Home Depot. Casters vary as much as 1/8 in height and still be called 3" Casters.

Add to that the differences in fittings, even within the same box.

Please remember: If you build a robot that is critical to a dimension you may be in trouble because of the many variables. Design for a range of sizes. That is why all sizes as plus or minus 10 inches

The actual goal dimensions

As Mike Martus said, dimensions will vary slightly on many materials. If you want to take a look at the actual goals that are to be used, every team is welcome to come by and see the goals themselves at OSTCNE. Call me at 248-451-2732 to set up a time. I'm going to try to find a site at the south end of the county where we can leave two of the goals to save on drive time.
