Photos of Team 2883's robot

[BOSS]

WE are well under the frame size and the the bumpers attach onto the frame the sides are in well over a inch, there will be top that will be angled, placed on it to make the total height 17.5 inches. the arm for hoisting the bot is still to be added. Still have lots of small builds but by weight we should be 117.

You may be well under the limits for NORMAL CONFIGURATION, but you cannot be under your own frame size. Your frame in the BUMPER ZONE defines the FRAME PERIMETER, even if it was only 12X12 inches. The ends of your frame that stand out from the sides create your FRAME PERIMETER. Stretch a string around it, and that defines where you must attach your BUMPERS. So your side BUMPERS would be hanging out an inch or so from the frame. That's not allowed.

1713 does something along the lines of nuts and bolts every year. That said, we can't really weld almost at all (no shop). So far it's worked pretty reasonably.

Not to turn this into another frame perimeter thread, but...

Guys...please head Gary's warning... Even if you cut those bolts down to 0.00000000000000001" thick...they will still violate the "nothing outside the frame parameter outside the bumper zone" rule this year...

This is the problem with that ruling...most teams won't even realize that are violating it or even how...until they get to a competition...

Its hard to tell from your pics but wont your ball go too far into the frame? I'm going to double check now but it seems like the limit is 2 inches.

We know of the 2 inches rule, and we are designing a stopper to prevent it from going past the rule regulation
