<R11> Dimension wrong?

[Al Skierkiewicz]

Mc,
The dimension is in the definitions for Bumper Zone. I have asked to include it in the bumper rules in the future.

Um, thanks to all for showing me that square robots don't (easily) fit into round holes. While this doesn't prevent an arm, it certainly adds to the challenge of using one.

Deploying minibots won't be as much of an issue: If I have an 8" square minibot, I have about 3" between the edge of the minibot and the pole (assuming minibot is centered on the 1.75" pole). 18+3=21, I only need 15-3=12. Maybe a 24" stroke pneumatic piston to whack the minibot onto the pole....

Inspection: I propose that we supply 60" I.D. right cylinders of infinite height to each venue for inspection. OK, even 30 feet tall would be impressive...

The rule gives you two possible diameters that your robot must stay within, 60" or 213.4 cm. I know which one we're using.

Seriously, I have a strong hunch the correction will turn out to be 84". Looking at the table, it is easy to imagine how the 60" could have been a typo, mixed up with the 60" in the starting height box. How likely is it that you would accidentally pull the number 213.4 out of the air as a typo?
