The manual says that "[a] minimum contact force of approximately 2-4 Newtons, depending on contact location, is required to ensure the contact sensors in the TARGET trip reliably."
I don't read that as a definition; to me, that looks like an observation for the benefit of the teams. If it were a definition, it would be the worst definition in the world. (Approximately? A range of force? Depending on contact location? And how do you quantify "reliably"?)
IMO the main idea behind FIRST is for the mentors and students to work together to produce a machine that the students could never have produced on their own. - Tim Sharp [more]
