Go to Post There's a fine line between cockiness and confidence. Confidence is one of the major keys to success and happiness in life. As long as one can carefully stay on the right side of the line, staying connfident while remaining humble, and ego can be quite beneficial. - Karthik [more]

Re: Moving Hitch

The phrase I stressed in <R18> subsection B seems to prohibit this:
Quote:
<R18> B.
The Trailer Hitch must be rigidly attached to a fixed location on the ROBOT, with the long dimension of the Trailer Hitch horizontal and the opening of the C-channel facing away from the ROBOT. The horizontal center line of the Trailer Hitch must be 2-13/16 inches above the floor.
This "fixed location" is defined in terms of relative position between GAME PIECE and ROBOT in Section 7, page 3:
Quote:
A GAME PIECE shall be considered “captured” by a ROBOT if, as the ROBOT moves or changes orientation (e.g. backs up or spins in place), the GAME PIECE remains in approximately the same position relative to the ROBOT.
While a GAME PIECE is not the same as a TRAILER, I believe that the definition of "fixed location" is the same for both. However, this may be a question you should ask the Q&A service, once it becomes available.
