Re: Rule clarification - trailer recessed
It probably wouldn't work even if "outer ege" were to include the inside of a U-shaped robot. Consider this: the last part of R11: The Bumper perimiter may extend up to but cannot exceed the maximum robot volume constraints defined in Rule R11. From what this says, if the inside edges of a U-shaped bot have to have bumpers too, most likely the perimeter wouldn't sufficiently cover them.

Re: Rule clarification - trailer recessed
If the trailer hitch was included in the bumper perimeter, then the hitch would need to be recessed.

Re: Rule clarification - trailer recessed
My team had the same idea, so thanks for the rule clarification.
Although I had said even without a rule defining this, it seems to be a little (LOT) bit like lawering the rules... For no other reason, I would avoid against this since it isn't exactly in the spirit of FIRST... imho. |

Re: Rule clarification - trailer recessed
Indeed the Trailer Hitch <R18>, <R08> and <R11> rules do not seem to be in complete agreement.
This will need to be addressed to the GDC. Specifically, I would like to know if the Trailer Hitch will be included in the <R11> maximum dimensions or if it will be excluded. Once we determine who will be our "Rules Master", we will ask this specific question. |
