It sounds like a 3' radius in this rule - although from this picture linked to above, it seems that, practically speaking, 1' may be closer to the mark. |

Re: do the racks move?
Thanks guys.
Yea, I dont think a team would want to move the whole structure any which way, and I cant think of a reason why they would want to anyways. |

However, the rack is very heavy -- several hundred pounds -- and I really don't think it's going to move during a game. |

Re: do the racks move?
Remember, the plywood Racks that were at the kickoffs were really heavy, but the same structure made out of aluminum tubes won't be as heavy.
But I agree, I really can't see how it would be feasible to move or rotate the Rack in the middle of a match. Plus, that wouldn't really be in the spirit of FIRST, now would it... ![]() |

Re: do the racks move?
I have heard the rack is on a "lazy susan" and it will be given a spin after robots are placed in their starting positions making camera systems essential in finding it.

Re: do the racks move?
Instead of saying "supposedly there is a rule", which is just a way of saying "I think this is how is should be, but I don't know", how about citing the actual rule. People who imply they know more than they do can be very dangerous (I should know, one almost killed me last month).

Re: do the racks move?
actuallly moving the rack is the ideal stratagey
if you were to say move it right in front of an alliance station, it would not only disrupt the END GAME for your opponans but block ff at least two colums of legs, now if you were to move this into a corner, it would eliminate four legs, so in theory, if you have four rows covered with ringers, those can't, and probally wont be touched, the best offense is a superb defense |

Re: do the racks move?
Not that it really matter to my team's strategy, but in section 6.2.2 "The Rack" it says the "The platform is frimly attached to the floor of the Playing Field. The slack in the chains connecting the structure to the platform permit the RACK to translate approximately One Foot"
while rule G07, as stated before, says that "the center of the RACK is within a 3 foot radius of the playing field center..." So which one is it, or is there something I'm missing? |

Re: do the racks move?
I'm confused about the apparent contradiction in the rules... in the rules it says that the rack can be moved approximately 1' in any direction, but it also says that at the beginning of the match the rack may be anywhere up to 3' away from the center of the field....
The picture seems to represent 1' as the more realistic distance.. |
