Offical FIRST Fourms

[Adam772]

I seem to recall in years past FIRST issuing an access code (via TIMS) to the adult mentors for a special fourm where questions, particuarly those pertaining to the application of certain rules found within the manual, could be asked.

Does such a thing exist? If so - where?


Having said that, I will post our teams questions below:


What happens if you robot enters the mouth of the goal. Is there any difference in outcome weather the entry was intentional or not? (Ref. G22)

Can the robot (in the last 20 seconds – finale) expand outside of its length and width dimensions (38*28). Rule R11 stipulates that the robot “
FRAME PERIMETER must be comprised of fixed, non-articulated structural elements of the ROBOT. The FRAME PERIMETER must remain a fixed, unchanging polygon throughout the MATCH.” Having said that, would we be able to deploy ramps, independent of the frame, to exceed the 38*28 footprint?
