Re: Team 714 week 6 preview

Well we have about 4.5 inches of bumper space that will in fact be backed by the robot/bumper frame, which leaves us with 3.5 inches of unsupported. With that being said we are still within the bounds of rules

[R27]
Robots are required to use Bumpers to protect all exterior vertices of the Frame Perimeter. For adequate protection, at least 8 in. of Bumper must be placed on each side of each exterior vertex .

[R33]
Bumpers must be supported by the structure/frame of the Robot (i.e. each end of the Bumper must be rigidly attached to the Frame Perimeter, the gap between the backing material and the frame must not be greater than ¼ in. and no section of Bumper greater than 8 in. may be unsupported). See Figure 4‑7.

P.S I meant lunacy on my last post.
