Tunnel Height

according to the filed drawings (official and non official) the tunnel is 16.5" tall on the inside. But according to 6.2.4 in the manual it says "A 36-inch wide by 18-inch tall TUNNEL under the PLATFORM, providing a passageway between the MIDFIELD and the adjacent end ZONES" I was wondering if anyone had any idea why there would be the discrepancy, I assume first will update one of the documents, i have not seen any updates yet on this.

Let me know what you guys think. We are trying to build a field and this is holding up the process of that.

Thanks,

James

Re: Tunnel Height

A recent CD-Media picture from the Kickoff suggests that the true height of the tunnel is 17.5"

Anyone can watch Westcoast Choppers and see adults build things, but FIRST is great because it encourages kids to do the building and adults to do the watching.

GO DANVILLANS!!

I believe that would be because of the ~0.5" plywood beneath the bump and tunnel that is used to protect the subfloor.

Re: Tunnel Height

I may as well ask it here, because I don't think it's worthy of a new thread, but is the tunnel part of the Tower? As in does rule <G34> not allow you to be in the opposition tunnel? And if you are allowed to be there could you extend out, preventing hanging robots?
