Go to Post Engineering is a big, big type of fishing to teach. Inspiring kids to study it in college might be more practical. - connor.worley [more]

Staying within volume with multiple extensions

Lets say I choose volume A, 36 x 40 x 24 for example.

My frame perimeter + bumpers is small, it fills a 26 x 40 footprint. Now I can have an appendage that extends 10" beyond the bumper on either of two sides after the match starts

Can I do this on either side of the robot as long as I retract on one side before extending on the other side? Does it make a difference if I have only one appendage that is capable of reaching out in either direction but not both, vs two appendages that I assure via software or a hardware linkage that only one will be deployed at a time?

It seems that the 'volume' of the robot for an undersized bot (at least in horizontal dimensions) is ambiguous, so how does it apply to rule G28 regarding affecting fuel outside the volume of the robot ?

I would assume the vertical volume of the bot extends above the bot, not below the wheels, but who is to say, especially while climbing?
