80 inch imaginary box???

Competition Rules/Strategy
#1

O.k. do you guys remember last year how the robot had to stay within that 80 inch imaginary “box”? I was wondering if we had to stay within the same regulations this year.

Thanks:)

#2

Rule <R11> in Section 8 of the manual clearly defines this. Basically, there is no 80-inch restriction this year; instead we have to remain within the starting dimensions (28x38x60) for the entire game.

#3

Read R16, robot must stay within a 28" x 38" x 60" imaginary box (there are also a bunch of other threads on this). Now you know.

#4

<R11> At the start of, and during, the MATCH the ROBOT shall fit within the dimensions listed
below:

Maximum
Width
28 inches
(71.12cm)
Maximum Depth
38 inches
(96.52cm)
Maximum Height
60 inches
(152.40cm)
Maximum Weight
120 pounds
(54.43Kg)

That’s the box

#5

So no more pokey-outey things.

#6

in the rules say:

<R11>
At the start of, and during, the MATCH the ROBOT shall fit within the dimensions listed below.

#7

Unless the pokey-outey things stay in the imaginary box and do not contact other robots outside the bumper zones (like a Moon-Rock grabber on a smaller robot).

#8

but it still has to stay in the imaginary box. now if your robot was smaller than the imaginary box…
