My Team and I are unclear about some of the rules this year for rope and robot size requirement. I would like to be clarified on the following if possibly.
Robot- LxWxH Maximum (Including Bumpers) Max Volume Rope(If we bring our own)- -Maximum and Minimum length from or to the grow. "How close or far away can the rope be to or from the ground" -What kind/type or Rope is allowed to bring "Material Requirements" -Can a note be placed anywhere on your rope? -Can a material such as a magnet be placed inside your rope? -Maximum/ Minimum width of thee rope Autonomous -Could you place a gear on the center lift and get 60 points making the router turn or dose it have to be on a side lift. -If multiple routers are turning at the end of autonomous will you get 60+ point (ex. 2 routers are turning you get 120 points) |

Re: Autonomous/Robot Size/ Rope Rules
Read the following rules and you will be able to answer your questions. If there's any more specific followup, then more specificity would be appreciated.
Robot size: R03 in Section 8. Pick one volume. Rope: I04 in Section 9. Read the entire rule. Rotors in Auto: This is actually a little bit harder. Part 1: You MUST start Rotor 1 FIRST (Section 3.4.2) in order to get points. Can't get points from Rotor 2 before Rotor 1. Part 2: Section 4.3, Table 4.1, calls out each Rotor engaged before period end. Also, Q&A is open and may have some answers--if the pages will load! |

Re: Autonomous/Robot Size/ Rope Rules
For rope height above the floor, if you were to do the minimum rope length (5'3"), the height that the bottom of the rope would be off of the floor = 17.44" + the length of the knot that holds your rope in the davit. This is from the length the rope drapes over the davit (5.25" on top + 18.19" down the side) added to the height of the davit over the floor (4'10"). Your knot will be a part of the inspection length, so you can make a big knot to hold into the davit, and that will lift the rope off the floor a little more. (Note: for max rope length (8'0") the rope will drape 7.56" on the floor - the knot length) I hope this helps, and saves at least a few others the search.

Re: Autonomous/Robot Size/ Rope Rules
Also, auton- center gear lift can be used, and yes you can theoretically get the 120 pts for two rotors in auton, however you will probably need to use all 3 lifts and definitely need to cooperate with your two alliance partners to do so.
