Re: Penalty re: <R16>

If the robot is deemed to have exceeded the 80 inches then there will be a penalty assesed (probably 10 points). That is how they did it last year, and from what I heard it was a pretty common penatly.

I would suggest building the robot geometry so that you can't exceed this dimension because it will make it much easier to stay out of trouble during a match. I also know that last year peole made the arm control on their bots so that it couldn't extend the arm past the size restrictions.
