Go to Post If mentors don't respect the students' desire to learn and take an active role in the construction, they're missing the point of FIRST. If students refuse to accept the knowledge and experience of the mentors, that's not independence - it's arrogance. - DB213parent [more]

Rule G23-1A question

In rule G23 it says:

Quote:
a ROBOT may not have its horizontal dimensions exceed a 54 in. diameter vertical cylinder relative to the ROBOT
Some of our teammates are disagreeing, when it says "relative to the robot" does that mean if our bot goes up sideways our cylinder is now horizontal?

Re: Rule G23-1A question

This was clarified by Q&A. If your robot fits in a 54" diameter right cylinder, it's good, assuming that it doesn't violate G23-1-B.

Re: Rule G23-1A question

G23 applies while your robot is not touching the pyramid. Then your robot has to fit inside a 54 in cylinder relative to the floor.

G23-1A applies when your robot is touching the pyramid. The latest interpretation from the GDC is that your robot is legal when touching the pyramid if it always fits inside a 54" diameter by 84" tall cylinder in ANY orientation. That is, if you can think of a way to turn a 54" x 84" cylinder so that your robot fits inside it, then you're legal.

Thanks a lot for clearing that up. Saved our design big time.
