Interesting comment about the actual width and length of platform.
Wide bots need to consider this if they plan on driving onto the platform. 38" wide bots with bumpers attached wont fit. Unless you squeeze the hell out of it. :smiley:

Curious that they corrected one part of <G30a> and not another.
<<
a. BALL Interaction Volume – Solely for the purposes of interacting with a BALL, MECHANISMS that are below the BUMPER ZONE
may extend up to the BUMPER PERIMETER, for a period not exceeding two seconds. After returning inside the FRAMER PERIMETER, such MECHANISMS are not permitted to re-extend beyond the FRAME PERIMETER for at least two seconds.
>> The red “framer” should be “frame” IMHO.

I mean they were looking right at it. Is no one reading the manual? even the GDC? :eek: :slight_smile: :rolleyes:

It’s cool that suspension that moves the bumper around over the bump is allowed now, a week after I ruled it out because I thought it was illegal. :frowning:

We get one more inch for ball interaction I guess!
