-120 lbs, not including battery and bumpers
-Can extend 20 inches beyond frame in-game but not in the starting configuration
Safety: Has to be safe
Budget:
-Total not including Kit of Parts(KOP) must be less than $4000
-No individual Component can cost more than $400
Bumpers:
-Must go 8 inches out
-Must cover all outer corners
-Bumpers have to cover our frame perimeter, meaning a U shaped robot has bumpers over its gap (and that gap actually can't be greater than 8 inches)
-Other random rules. 2 sets of bumpers (one red, one blue). Must be under 20 pounds. Team numbers on them. etc.
Lists of allowed motors, actuators, circuits

The line in bold is incorrect. The height limit (outside of the GOALIE zone) is 5 feet, or 60 inches. Showing up with a 6' high robot would be a tragic mistake.

-the total length of the FRAME PERIMETER sides may not exceed 112 in. (see Figure 4-1 for examples),
-a ROBOT may not extend more than 20 in. beyond the FRAME PERIMETER (see Figure 4-2 for examples) (see G24), and
-the ROBOT height may not exceed 60 in., except as allowed by G23.
-Any extension above 60 in. may not exceed a 6 in. diameter vertical cylinder (see Figure 4-3 and Figure 4-4 for examples), per G23.

Other than that, Great summary!

The field crew chases balls that have been scored. Your human player is focused on theball in play.

I'd put the hot goal lights under autonomous points (they imply teleop)

Something you could add that I might add to my rules quiz: out of bounds balls are given to the alliance's nearest human player.

Great summary!

What's the rule citation for, "-No deliberate collision with opponent robots"?

That would seem to preclude any sort of defense!

Thanks for all the suggestions and comments! I updated each and every thing you guys addressed.

That was a bit of a misinterpretation of G28:

Deliberate or damaging contact with an opponent ROBOT on or inside its FRAME PERIMETER is not allowed.

I have now changed that part to "No deliberate past-or-on-bumper collision with opponent robots"

That still sounds like bumper-to-bumper contact isn't allowed! I think as a summary, "no non-bumper contact with other robots on or inside their frame perimeter" works better.

Whoops, that was definitely still worded poorly! I think my newest revision fixes it....

-Deliberate contact with an opponent robot on or inside its frame perimeter is not allowed. Bumper-to-bumper contact is okay.

More better-er!
