Re: Team 1647: Iron Devils Update
Quote:
We considered the ambiguity of the rule on what is or isn't an active mechanism and came up with this: <G45>: Active BALL control - ROBOTS may not control BALL direction with active MECHANISMS above the BUMPER. Violation: PENALTY. MECHANISMS are considered “active” if they are in motion relative to the ROBOT while in contact with the BALL. Resetting or moving MECHANISMS while not in contact with a BALL is permitted as the MECHANISMS are not considered “active.” <R19>: ROBOTS must be designed so that in normal operation BALLS cannot extend more than 3 inches inside a) the FRAME PERIMETER below the level of the BUMPER ZONE (see Figure 8-5), b) a MECHANISM or feature designed or used to deflect BALLS in a controlled manner that is above the level of the BUMPER ZONE. We put the team "lawyers" on this one and we feel as though we are within the constraints established by FIRST Best of luck with your team as well Tom, perhaps we'll see you all in Atlanta |
