Controlling balls above the bumper

Is FIRST making it too easy?... yes they are making it easier than years past. But I would also say that does that matter? If students are still inspired to pursue more advanced designs and eventually a career in the technology sector we still have met our ultimate goal. - MikeDubreuil [more]

Re: Controlling balls above the bumper

Quote:

Thus, a device that is "below" the BUMPERS when the ROBOT is inverted would be considered "above" the BUMPERS in the coordinate frame of the ROBOT. If such a device were used to control the BALL, then it would be a violation of Rule <G45>.

Am I reading this differently? It doesn't appear to say what you think.
