Re: Antenna design

Quote:
I think it's important to go with something pivoted front/back or that can't bend sideways like those lexan strips, other wise you risk them bending sideways out of the 15". Also having 2 colors front/back or side to side so the driver will know the orientation of the robot.
Because the Lexan strips we (3005) use have 0.125" thickness in the front/back orientation and ~2" in the side to side, they have a fairly large resistance to bending in the side-to-side direction, while folding over easily in the forward/back.

If you were to grab one and forcibly twist it while pulling sideways, you might be able to get it outside of 15", but they don't interact with the defenses that way, nor do they have enough weight to do so on their own.
