Re: Warning: Don't Touch Your Robot

Posted on 3/31/99 7:05 AM MST In Reply to: Re: Warning: Don't Touch Your Robot posted by Peter VanWylen on 3/30/99 8:37 PM MST: : I disagree. Rule P20 says that incedental contact is okay. : How can you say that they should call something that the : rules indicate as 'okay?' Good point. I must've looked past P20. Here's what P20 states: P20: 'Robots are allowed to extend into the player station interaction zone. Incidental contact within the interaction zone is acceptable.' I was basing my opinion on V15 and V18. Here they are: V15: 'For safety reasons, no part of a robot may touch the human players. if this occurs due to an intentional act, the alliance causing the safety hazard will be disqualified.' V18: 'During a match, no team member may intentionally touch any robot, except for reasons of personal safety. If this happens, the alliance will be disqualified.' That seems pretty clear cut to me. I can't see FIRST letting us have more contact with the robots... If that would happen, OSHA might have more of a chance to tighten up the entire competition and pit structure due to safety issues. It looks like we need clarification between 'incidental' and 'intentional' contact. I still stand by my previous post. By the way, Peter, I think team 107 is a class act. You have a very impressive robot (everyone needs to check out your super-cool wheels) and I enjoy working with your team when we have been matched together. Best of luck in Orlando.
