Re: Al's Annual Inspection Thread

Jon,
As I understand the description, this is a legal implementation. The angles are optional but the ruling has been that as long as the "hard parts" definition is not violated and the bumper system remains under 20 lbs., sheet metal is acceptable. I expect to see more of this type of design as the season progresses due to the intense contact inflicted in this game.

Teams, please remember...

3.2.6.2 G28
Deliberate or damaging contact with an opponent ROBOT on or inside its FRAME PERIMETER is not allowed.
Violation: TECHNICAL FOUL
High speed accidental collisions may occur during the MATCH and are expected.
ROBOTS extend elements outside of the FRAME PERIMETER at their own risk; no
penalties will be assigned for contact between two such extended elements.
A ROBOT with an element outside its FRAME PERIMETER may be penalized under this
rule if it appears they are using that element to purposefully contact another ROBOT
inside its FRAME PERIMETER. Regardless of intent, a ROBOT with an element outside
its FRAME PERIMETER that causes damage to another ROBOT inside of its FRAME
PERIMETER will be penalized.
