Re: Ground Clearance
We have a local sponsor (Sonic Tools) who has built a field with 3 pieces of regolith. The edges on the long axis tend to curl up no matter what he has tried. I understand that first has come up with a solution for this, though I haven't seen it. We have a clearance of about 1/2" and were getting caught on these edges. Also the material is very brittle and sharp when broken. I think before the regionals are each over we will see damage to the fields as the tournaments progress. Small, hard objects falling off robots and being run over may punch holes in the surface, so the fields should be meticulously cleaned between matches...IMHO...
