Re: Bolt stepping outside robot's frame
I also recommend looking at the FIRST Q&A before concluding anything ... especially because my interpretation of the rules differs from the poster above the post above me.
It is my understanding that bolt-head penetrations of the frame perimeter are only allowed within the bumper zone, not below it as your picture appears to show. Using the definition of the FRAME PERIMETER (page 4/5 of Ch 8), the polygon is defined within the bumper zone, so if your bolt-heads are below the bumper zone, but outside the FP, it might not be legal. If I'm right, and I'm not sure that I am, is it possible for you to offset your bumpers 1/2" outwards to account for these fasteners? Last edited by Ziaholic : 20-02-2010 at 09:46.
