Go to Post Seriously! I expect to follow what I understand to be the intent of (allow teams more time to work with their control systems) and just look out for anyone trying to bring in greater than half a robot. Or a kitchen sink. - petek [more]

We plan to place aluminum structural plate (say 1/8in) across the Standoffs so to meet the intent of this rule. The plate will be bolted to the frame with pillow blocks. The plate is removable to get access to the wheels.

Does anyone see a R08 violation with this?
I don't, but it never hurts to make sure.

I'd phrase a Q&A question similarly to: "Would structural material running the length or width of a bumper attached to the bumper side of a set of standoffs meet the intent of <R08> if it was removable separately from the bumpers?" (This to cover other similar tricks.)
