Go to Post ..this is the first robot we've built that succeeded at everything we wanted it to. It was simple. It was low maintenance. It scored effectively. It had an autonomous that worked. Its look caught attention. And it was finished on schedule. - Donut [more]

Re: Beware of R16 your robot design may be too big.

Adam, the rule says "While in the PLAYING CONFIGURATION, the ROBOT may expand up to a maximum horizontal dimension of 80 inches"

I think that the best way to say that is just like you said it: There cannot be any two points on the robot that are more than 80" apart (in a horizontal plane)

Here is a better drawing of a robot that is illegal, even though the arm extends less than 80" from the rear bumper measured straight on (and I apologize to you ALIBI for messing with your brain!)
