The Tower

[schnaigs]

I searched through all the manual, looked at the official field drawings, searched the CD forums, and as a last resort, asked Twitter (with the proper hashtags and everything).

And I can't seem to find my answer to one very simple question: How high are the towers?The ones the minibots have to climb?

I know that the base is 12" tall, and the deployment line is 18" above that. And the base itself is around 1/4" off the ground thanks to a floor protector. How high off the ground is the target?

Read 2.2.5, fourth paragraph, fourth sentence. It should read something like,

The bottom of the lower disk (i.e. the portion of the TARGET contacted by the climbing MINIBOT) is approximately 122 inches above the floor.

I believe it is around 100 inches tall. not including the base.

The bottom of the lower disk (i.e. the portion of the TARGET contacted by the climbing MINIBOT) is approximately 122 inches above the floor.

That would match exactly the measurement I made yesterday at the Kick-Off broadcast: From the top of the base to the bottom of the lower disk was 110 inches.

No autographs, please.

But seriously, PM me if you (or anyone else) has any questions that you think I can answer "because I was there."
