Go to Post All I know is that last year in Philadelphi, our camera locked dead onto MOE (Team 365) and their flourescent green shirts during the matches. They might want to consider what would happen if they get pelted with balls during the autonomous period! :ahh: - Greg Marra [more]

Re: need help with rules

I'm not sure exactly what your question is, but <R11> gives a very clear answer. At no time during a match may the robot (excluding the bumpers and trailer hitch) exceed the 28"x38"x60" dimensions.

Re: need help with rules

No, no part of your robot may extend outside your bumper perimeter at any time during a match. See Rule <R16>.

Re: need help with rules

Quote:
<R11> At the start of, and during, the MATCH the ROBOT shall fit within the orthogonal dimensions
listed below:

----------------------------------------------------
|Dimension 1 | Dimension 2 | Dimension 3 | Maximum |
|(Horizontal) | (Horizontal) | (Vertical) | Weight|
----------------------------------------------------
|28 Inches | 38 Inches | 60 Inches | 120 Pounds|
|(71.12 cm) | (96.52 cm) | (152.40 cm) | (54.43 Kg) |
----------------------------------------------------

A. Exception: solely for the purposes of determining compliance with the weight and
volume limitations, these items are NOT considered part of the ROBOT and are NOT
included in the weight and volume assessment:
• The 12V battery and its associated half of the Anderson cable quick
connect/disconnect pair (including no more than 12 inches of cable per leg, the
associated cable lugs, connecting bolts, and insulating electrical tape),
• BUMPER assemblies that are in compliance with Rule <R08>,
• The TRAILER,
• The Trailer Hitch (as defined in Rule <R18>),
• The OPERATOR CONSOLE.
This is what I believe the robot must comply with. During Finger Lakes Regional I was told during practice matches that if I didn't tuck the battery cable back in so that it doesn't go past the start of the bumper that I would be disqualified, given a yellow card that would turn into a red card before the first 30 seconds was up. So I would keep all dimension within the original constraints also to be 100% sure I think you should review Section 8.3.2 regarding general robot design, to make sure your robot fits all criteria

Re: need help with rules

This brings up an interesting issue. I hesitate to even bring it up...but here goes. After nearly EVERY match...there are bits and pieces of robots that are left on the field.

If a referee sees something come off a robot (unintentionally) during the course of play...wouldn't it be incumbent on him/her to give a penalty for the robot being outside of its orthogonal dimensions?

I won't be asking Q and A about this... it just occurred to me that ... if referees are giving penalties when a battery shifts and the cable sticks out... then why not when a part comes off?

just asking ....
I guess if you lost a screw you could just have the robot squat over it like an egg until the end of the match to avoid a penalty....

Re: need help with rules

I was under the impression that when the robot parts leave the robot, they are no longer controlled / touching the other robot parts and are thus themselves not robots.

The usual interpretation: when a part comes off, it becomes field debris and is no longer part of the ROBOT. If the part is still hanging on, however, it can draw a penalty for causing the robot to extend outside the permitted dimensions.
