Distance from key to bridge?

[Hebrew]

So from the very tip of the semi circle to the very tip of the bridge is 88 inches? I can place a wheel right at that tip and the others completely outside the key/semicircle right?

Thank you!

Thank you!

Yeah, that's legal so long as you're touching the key before the match starts. Good luck!

Do we have time to test our robot on the arena BEFORE the matches start? I will be going to Duluth, Minnesota and it would be really nice to tweak it to perfection before the ones that count start.

No and yes.

The official arena will not be open for testing (99.999% certain). However, you will have a number of practice matches on Thursday of the event; during those matches; as long as all teams are willing, test away during the autonomous period of those matches. Also note that at some events, you can fill in for teams that miss their matches to get more matches. Usually, there will also be a practice field; this may or may not be set up to spec with the normal field.

Short version, you'll have practice time; use it wisely (by making it to the field!).
