Re: Perimeter

You need to rethink your design. The FRAME PERIMETER is not defined by what you might usually think of as your ROBOT's frame. The FRAME PERIMETER is the outermost points on your ROBOT within the BUMPER ZONE (this year, 4-12 inches from the floor). Now in reality that means the outermost points of your ROBOT period, because you can't have anything stretching outside the FRAME PERIMETER when you start the match.

So that means several bad items off news for your design. First, if the wheels are outside your "frame", the structure of your ROBOT, the wheels now define the FRAME PERIMETER. So maybe you're too big. You also have to have a way to attach BUMPERS to the FRAME PERIMETER - hard to do if the FRAME PERIMETER is defined by your wheels.

The good news is that we're only halfway through the build season, so you have time to refactor.
