2003 Bar Height

GregTheGreat · #1 05-12-2003, 21:33

Does ne1 remember what the height to the bottom of the bar was from the 2003 season. I am refering to the bar that seperated the two robot starting areas. The old FIRST documents says 14 inches to the top... does ne1 know the bottom measurement?

Thanks,

I think that 14 inches was the clearance. +/- 1 due to the floor surface.

So you are saying if a robot was 13 inches it would easily be able to fit under the bar?

Thanks,

According to a member on my team, our 2003 robot is 14 inches high and we had no trouble fitting under, so, yes 13 inches will fit fine.

Found proof:

Take a look at the blueprints, bottom right corner. It shows the bar and the measurements. (Note: the 16" shown is to the top of the bar.)

yes, 16" - 1 1/4" (bar width) = 14 3/4" or 14" to be safe.
