Go to Post Machinery tends to make chips fly into weird places. Lathes and mills are particularly good at this, though drill presses are skilled as well. - Karibou [more]

Carpet over the tower support

The description in the arena manual section 2.2.5 says:
Quote:
The BASE rests on a 48-inch by 76-inch floor protector made of 3/16-inch HDPE. The floor protector is velcroed to the FIELD surface, and covered with a piece of similar carpet. The edges of the floor protector cover are taped to the FIELD carpet (Pro Gaff Tape, “black”, 2-inch). This taped seam forms a slight (approximately 1/4-inch) ridge in the FIELD around the TOWER.
The wording on sheet one of FE-00034 says
Quote:
Cover Floor Protectors with extra carpet, tape edges with 2" black gaffers tape.
The tape outline on the picture looks to be alot larger than the 48" wide floor protector, and I would guess that if the seam was right at the end of the floor protector the ridge would be alot higher than 1/4-inch when you add the HDPE thickness to the carpet thickness.

Did anyone measure the tape outline on the field at the kickoff? How wide is it, and what is the ridge like where the carpet goes over the HDPE - sharp or gradual?

I'll post the question in Q&A as well, but I'd like to get that feature modeled in our field ASAP to test our alignment for minibot deployment.
