Re: Are extensions with bumpers after the start of the game legal
Thanks for all of the feedback. The team went through them today and changed a few things in our design. I will get them loaded up here in a few days.
We are going to reduce the size our extension width to eliminate any overhang of the perimeter in our starting configuration We are going to lower the bumper to start at 1 inch We are going to move as much weight to the extensions as we can We are only going to use the four main wheels to drive, once in our defensive area we will move between the two zones to bog entrance and egress from the opposing team scoring zone on the safe side of the caution line. We are going to create some code to keep the robot on the safe side of the caution line using one of our light sensors We are going to use steel plates as opposed to sand to ballast our extensions We are going to use 8 high traction wheels to maximize friction and moment of inertia during defensive game play We are going to keep our pseudo bumpers the same color as our real bumpers and put the team number on them as well We are going to make a very structurally sturdy bot to be able to withstand high kinetic energy impacts Let me know if the students missed any changes.
