Your opinion: does our mesh violate rule R07??

The other thing to consider is that this year, other robots are not supposed to be sticking things outside their bumper perimeter. How could anything on your robot be construed to be an entanglement hazard if the other robot has to violate a rule to become entangled?

This is true in most cases but, I saw many robots drive into the opening of a ball feeded mechanism device on another robot with their corners.

My question to everyone would then be:
If Redabot drives into Blueabot's Bumper Perimeter because of a void in Blueabot's bumpers where a ground feeder device is located, & something on Redabot which is within Redabot's own Bumper Perimeter gets entangled on Blueabot because each robot's Bumper Perimeters now overlap each other, then who is to blame??

Ok, we'll get on pictures in a little bit.

Yes, even though you can go out of the set robot dimentions, a rule is a rule is rule and the judges are judges are judges. That's what I've been telling other of my team members, even though it's at the discretion of the judges.

The other thing you could consider is real thin polycarbonate. Check McMaster P/N 85585K73. A 24x48 sheet of this only weighs around half a pound (if my math is correct...check that yourself). Plus, it gives you a great place to mount team numbers and sponsor stickers.....

Um... what? I think that a) you meant that you can't go out of the dimensions and b) the inspectors are the inspectors are the inspectors.
