Peg height question?

[Superllama12]

Does anyone know how high the scoring grid pegs are? We looked all over the manual and were unable to find it. Thank you!

Assume that it doesn't matter. Note that there is an 8" offset between adjacent pegs so design for that to be included.

You can also try the official field drawings (after the FIRST website comes back up!)

It does matter, because people might base their robot height off of how high the top pegs are.

True.

It looks like the middle (elevated) pegs are about the 6.5-7 ft mark. The lower ones are about the 3.5' mark. The upper ones would then be about the 9.5-10 ft mark. This is for the tall ones; the others are about 8" lower.

Thanks so much!!!

Has anyone seen if the field diagrams are posted/downloaded them so they have the exact heights?

I have been looking through the manual and cannot seem to find what the heights of all the pegs are on the wall. If anyone has found these heights I'd appreciate some help. Thanks

You can find the peg heights in the offical field drawingshere.

Unfortunately, the link is down because of the site flooding that has been going on this morning.

No, I have been refreshing literally every five minutes, I was hoping that someone else would be able to pull it up so that they can let me know (as I don't have inventor on it). If anyone does find out, please let me know. Thanks!

Would you happen to have downloaded the field drawings and be able to provide the heights?

No, unfortunately. We were going to download them on a need-to-know basis, but that can't be done as of now.

For anybody that is interested, here's how I got those estimates I posted earlier:

Section 2 has a picture of the grids. The low one is about the height of the top of the diamond plate; the middle one is about the height of the team ID box. While not called out, from past experience I know the heights of both (3.5-4 ft and 6.5-7 ft respectively). I guessed that the high one would be about the same height above the middle as the middle was above the low one.

These are unofficial measurements. This is what we got from measuring the mock-up at the Novi, MI local kickoff. I believe that these were measured from the floor to the middle of the peg.

Far right/left pegs:
Bottom: 33in
Middle: 69in
Top: 106in

Center pegs:
Bottom: 40in
Middle: 77in
Top: 114in

You can't build a precise robot off of those (since they're not official), but for planning purposes, they should be fine. When we can get to the official drawings, we will know for sure.

Did this quickly so please check the numbers, but it looks pretty straight forward - the ends of the poles go all the way to the bottom of the tubing at the bottom.
From the field documents (ignoring the thickness of the sheet metal plate at the bottom, Floor to the center of the pegs:

Outer poles
Bottom peg 29.21 + .83 (half diameter) = 30.04
Center peg 58+8.17+.83 = 67
Top peg 58 + 45.17+.83 = 104

Middle pole
37.21 + .83 = 38.04
58 + 16.08 + .83 = 74.91
58 + 53.08 + .83 = 111.91

I used half of the 1.66 from the detail views, even though some of the BOM's say 1-1/2 pipe not 1-1/4
