Re: pic: Carmen week1 team 842
Oh, oh. Check the bumper rules. You can't attach a legal standard bumper to those angled faces in front.

They don't have to, The rules say you have to cover 75% (I think) of the perimeter of your robot.

Re: pic: Carmen week1 team 842
It never explicitly says that it must be convex, but wrapping a string around a concave polygon will result with the string not following the entire perimeter of the polygon. If you wrap a string around this robot in the bumper zone, it will form a convex rectangle.

Re: pic: Carmen week1 team 842
definition per rules
To determine the BUMPER PERIMETER, wrap a piece of string around the ROBOT at the level of the BUMPER ZONE - the string describes this polygon. We would have our string cross the opening of our bot. It does not say it has to make contact with the bumper zone everywhere. That is an assumption. Our polygon would be a rectangle, never the less we will cover the angles in from the corner with 6 inches of bumper. We think we are ok......I hope |

Re: pic: Carmen week1 team 842
Angled "bumpers" would not pass inspection because technically they are not bumpers at all since they do not lie on the bumper perimeter according to the current set of definitions and both sides of the corner must be protected.

Re: pic: Carmen week1 team 842
Ahhh...here's that statement that seemed to me to be missing from the rules.
"2. As indicated in Rule <R08-I>, all exterior corners of the BUMPER PERIMETER must be protected by BUMPERS. Both "sides" of the corner must be protected." from http://forums.usfirst.org/showthread.php?t=11159 |
