I wish some questions were never asked

Q153 Does propelling FUEL through the air between robot mechanisms count as LAUNCHING?

If FUEL is propelled by one part of the ROBOT through the air to another part of the ROBOT while maintaining control and possession of the FUEL the entire time, does it constitute a violation of G23?


Answer

As long as the FUEL remains within the ROBOT'S volume, it does not violate G23 or G28.
Here is the problem: Team designs a fuel picker that gathers fuel from the floor, coveys them up the robot, and spits them out into a hopper on the robot.

If the hopper is at the max height (24" for the short robot), then the fuel has technically gone outside of the Robot's volume. Also, if fuel misses the hopper and falls outside the Robot, ...

Prior to the question being asked, I am sure the Ref's would have considered well behaved loading/picking mechanisms as not violating the "launching" rule.
