 If we can transform our culture to the point where girls swoon over guys as they pull their dremel off their belt and carve some speed holes in a smooth fluid motion, I think FIRST is half way to its goal. When we get the guys to swoon over the girls for their hot moves on the 5-axis, we have won. - EricVanWyk [more] |

legality of bolt and screw heads breaking plane of chassis meeting bumpers
Hi,
I should have thought of this earlier, but our robot design is such that our wheel brackets are flush against the surface of the chassis of our robot. To assemble the wheel brackets, we use 1/4-20 cap screws and 3/8" bolts and such. Our bumpers mount to the chassis such that the plywood is flat against the C-channel. When the wheel brackets are mounted to the chassis, the heads of the bolts holding the wheel brackets together extend into the plane that is between the bumper plywood and the chassis. Is this going to cause a problem with the rules? I really hope not...because only the bolt heads go through this plane. Even with the bolt heads, our robot (wo bumpers) is within the volume restrictions. Thanks for your time! windell |
