Re: Distance to hoop from side of fender??

From the centerline of the field: 27 3/8" inches to the center of the 2-point hoop. 18" diameter hoop (ID); take half of that (and we'll go up to the nearest 1/2" to allow for field variation). 45.5" from centerline to outside of hoop.

Fender is 101" wide; this gives 50.5" per side.

Net difference, 5" from the edge of the 2-point hoop to the edge of the fender.

Now, can you exploit that?

On the Alley side, be cautious! 51"+2"=53" for the Alley, so 103.5" is either taken or a high-danger zone. Half of the end of the court is only 162" wide, so you have 59" to maneuver--if you have standard bumpers on a long robot, it's 43" long, leaving 16" for opposing robots to miss you, and with [G28], they won't try to miss if they're in contact with the alley.

On the other side, you've got a lot more room, until they figure out that that's your only scoring position and start planting robots there.
