Re: Vision target location

I posted two questions to the q&a last week: q157 and q158.
Sorry for the excessive use of abbreviations, was struggling to stay within character limits.

I agree that there isn't enough information in the manual, any of the drawings, or the video to relate the targets to one another. Particularly in the horizontal dimension.

The video defines the vertical targets position relative to the "inside edge" of the low goal. Does that mean the face of the cube furthest from the field perimeter, or does it mean the edge of the opening in the cube through which you could score a ball. I interpreted the later, but others on my team disagree.

Also, are the measurements provided relative to the vision target's reflective material, or the black border which surrounds it? The game manual makes it sound like the black border is considered part of the target, so my hunch is the later, but this isn't an element of the field I want to approximate. I want it to be as accurately replicated as possible. This should be a relatively easy set of information for FIRST to provide, the game manual has all but one dimension defined already.
