Re: Q&A response - new interpretation of R16

if the rule says a CYLINDER, then why is there talk of squares and triangles
we cant do anything by complaining. its just one of the thing that we have to design around. its part of engineering.

but.......
the way my team figured it out was that if the up right arm is 5 ft, and another arm(52 in) to extend out and reach up w/ claws ( at least 20 in it grab ball) to clear the front of the bot and bumpers, it will extend past the 80 in. theres almost no way that any bot would be able to pick the ball up and put it on the rack.

this was just my team, and we put it 2gether this morning, and found out it was 31 in too long when we had to grab the ball.
