Re: Bumper zone clarification

OK. Our robot, including bumpers, is 36 x 40 x 24 tall. When we climb, our robot will be tilted at an angle. while tilted, if someone were to take a horizontal measuremenet along the length of one of the longer sides, a measurement of 40.311 inches would be found - this is also equal to a kitty corner measurement of a long side bumper at rest while the robot is sitting on the ground floor. So are we in violation of the bumper zone rule during the climb or not? Confusing especially when I take into account the Q and A answer to Question 151, where they use the phrase 'transposed on the floor'. Not sure what it all means.....

Re: Bumper zone clarification

You're tilted, but what happens if you suddenly land level on the floor?

Right, you're back to your starting size. Note the exceptions for robots tilting while climbing ropes, etc.


You'd be neither in violation of the volume nor in violation of the bumper zone, UNLESS there's something you aren't telling us that would change that answer (stuff sticking out, for example).
