[OCCRA]: Ramp and Arrow question. OFFICIAL ANSWER

[Mike Martus]

[quote=groves]The rules are confusing about the Height of the arrow and the placement of the holes on the ramps. According to the rules, it says there is a 2 foot pole with an arrow on the top. This is not very specific. How high is the arrow from the ground? Is it 2 feet from the ground? Is it 2 feet above the platform? Wouldn't most robots be able to push the arrow easily because they can be up to 3 feet? What are the dimensions of the arrow?

The other question is about the holes on the ramps. Where are they specifically? Could you make a clear map of where specifically on the holes are?

Answer:

Please refer to the drawings that were provided on the game CD given at the competition.

I have reviewed the documentation and do not see any reference to 2 feet. Not sure where you are getting this from.

The height from the carpet (floor) to the top surface of the arrow is 48" + or - 1/2 inches.

The hole sizes of the squares is 9.50 + or - 1/2 inches.

Again refer to your official documentation.
