Re: Is this legal (Bumpers)?

The inspectors will inspect for safety and adherence to the rules. Al's very sound advise goes further in getting you to consider more failure modes. Just realize that, with the exception of safety concerns and rule violations, the inspectors will approve designs and implementations that, in our opinion, are likely to fail. We may make suggestions on forums or at events based on our experience that are optional for the teams. We really want all the teams to succeed and the students to have a memorable experience. Whether those memories are good or bad will depend on many factors... Regards, Mike |

Thanks Mike. The goal of my question was to clarify if Al thought the design was illegal, or not robust enough. Obviously in the example you posted (the andymark mounting style) there could be more done to stabilize those bumpers. However, is it necessary would be the question I have to ask. Thanks for helping to clarify. -Brando |

Re: Is this legal (Bumpers)?
Is anyone else considering bumpers at differing heights on the several sides of their robot? All bumpers still within the zone of course; there is a whole inch of room for deployment. We're thinking of maximum height for the kicker's end and minimum height on the other three sides.

Bill, All other rules still apply. No hard parts in the corners. A 1 inch difference is not going to make the design less successful nor fail to pass inspection per the Q&A. Last edited by Al Skierkiewicz : 13-02-2010 at 10:37. |
