The Trailer measurements

[Enigma's puzzle]

Outdone i guess

A = 16 3/16"

The 28" so-and-so means the parallel sides are 28" apart

According to the drawing, half the distance (from the center to the corner) is 8 1/4" so that would make the side length 8 1/2", not 8 3/16.

After checking the model of the trailer in Sketchup, I can say the measure tool reads ~1' 4 11/64". Round that up to 12/64, and you get 3/16.

I am guessing you modeled based on an inscribed circle or circumscribed circle. Your dimension is probably correct based on that. The drawing for the team trailer panels utilizes an ordinate dimensioning scheme, and gives each point an X and Y dimension with the center being 0,0. The dimension given in the team drawing have the sides at 8 1/2". I think the field piece drawings give inscribed circle diameter.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH, I guess that was the only way to get a CLEAR answer

Does anyone know how much the trailer weighs so we can see what its coefficient of friction will be for it.

can u mount the trailer hitch on the corner of the robot

The coefficient of friction remains the same for the trailer as it does for the robot, since it is the same materials in contact As such I believe it was along the lines of 0.1
