M8 and the definition of "upright"...

To my mind, FIRST has never really defined "upright" very well either.

Is it upright when it is in the box or when it is driving round -- the Beatty machine comes to mind. If they mount it upright in starting position, it would only be upright for 5 seconds because after that it would be on its side!

Why is upright even in there?

If it is at a slight angle (say the axis of rotation of the motor +/- 2 degrees from true vertical) is that Okay? What if it was +/- 20 degrees?

Questions Questions.

Joe J.
