Re: pic: Week 4 Teaser

This is abuse of the word teaser.....

Overall it looks pretty nice, can't wait to see the rest of the robot.

Big Robot looks big. Make sure your bumpers fit in the sizing constraints.

Re: pic: Week 4 Teaser

Agree, it looks too big. If those are VF tubes, it looks like 30" square, which will be about 37" square with bumpers. G4&R3 this year refer to the whole robot, not just the chassis, but including the bumpers. See Team Update 1 and the latest blog. Edit: though perhaps I miscounted an inch one way or the other...

Re: pic: Week 4 Teaser

I am not going to assume like everyone else but what is the size of that chassis ? As everyone is iterating what sure it fits within the size constraints.

Re: pic: Week 4 Teaser

I counted holes in the VF, and it's 34" long, at least. You guys are cutting it VERY fine on size. Bumpers are squishy and floppy and R03/G04 is NOT squishy. Bumper fabric that flops outside 40" means you're in violation and subject to the relevant penalties. A welded frame isn't going to give you much option for adjustments at competition. You guys better have really tightly wrapped bumpers with some impressive corners. I'd go with the vertical noodle corners, cause I think you're doomed if you try mitered ones. You should consider getting sized by your inspection crew ASAP, because there's probably going to be arguments.

EDIT: And 30" wide. Assuming they get everything tight. Didn't anyone tell you guys to give yourself a little wiggle room? 1" smaller in each direction wouldn't have killed you.

Re: pic: Week 4 Teaser

Hey everyone,

Thanks for the concern. I can confirm it will be within the sizing box with bumpers.

Those are Cleco fasteners. They are great for temporarily holding parts together before riveting, to make sure everything is square.

Re: pic: Week 4 Teaser

Looks to be 33"x30", not including fastener heads etc. That's a fine, close shave there.

If it's 33x30, that's not even a close shave. Your bumpers will be outside bounds. 30" + 2(2.5" + 3/4") = 36.5"
