Holding of Game-Pieces Outside the Robot Perimeter

MikePres · #1 24-01-2009, 04:36

(In Lunacy2009) We know that no part of the robot should pass the Robot-Perimeter but how about Game-Pieces (MoonRocks, for example)? If our Robot holds them in some way - can they be out side the maximum height/width/depth of the robot or outside its perimeter (partly or fully)?

thanks ahead

As long as your robot stays within the perimeter it should be fine since moon rocks are not considered part of your robot.

And I was sure it had been discussed on CD before, but I can't find a thread by searching.
