It's clearly stated in the manual.

What's the tolerance supposed to be on these heights? The only thing I remember reading is this section.

Quote:
However, as the ARENA is assembled in different venues by different event staff, some small variations do occur. Fit and tolerance on large assemblies (e.g. the LOW GOALS) are ensured only to within ¼ in. Overall gross dimensions of the entire FIELD may vary up to 4 in. Successful teams will design ROBOTS that are insensitive to these variations.
That would lead me to believe that the pyramids at Hub City are out of tolerance but I might be wrong.

Re: 2013 Hub City Regional

We've always designed to a 1" total variance. I thought that was what the manual used to state, but it's 1/4" back to 2011.

Re: 2013 Hub City Regional

What happened to the Awards page on usfirst.org? Hub City is missing the entry for WFFA. Inquiring minds want to know who won it up there.

The WFFA winner will be announced Saturday morning. The BAE Granite City Regional winner was announced this morning. The tradition of announcing WFFAs at the award ceremony on Friday seems to have ended.

Re: 2013 Hub City Regional

The folks that ran Hub City should be proud. The tournament went smoothly; we had normal week 1 issues but those had nothing to do with the tournament organization. It was fun to get to a tournament in a region to which we've never been; we made a number of new friends and worked with some great teams.

It was great to see all of the teams helping each other. I was in the pits most of the tournament and saw many, many different folks working on robots that didn't belong to them. It'd be nice to say this was unique to Lubbock, but sorry folks; it was FRC business as usual. I hate to single out teams because they weren't the only ones doing this, but you can see why 1108 & 2468 are Chairman's teams -- sometimes I wondered how they were able to staff their own pits; they had so many people in other teams'.

And as a volunteer, I must add that the volunteer meals were AWESOME! Whatever you do next year, keep the caterer.

Re: 2013 Hub City Regional

I agree that kudos should be sent out to those that ran the Hub City Regional but it would not have have been so successful without Team Titanium. It was a pleasure to play with and against ya'll.
