R105 ROBOT horizontal extension limit. ROBOTS may not extend more than 12in (30.48cm) beyond the vertical projection of their ROBOT PERIMETER.
Figure 8‑2 ROBOT PERIMETER extension
Teams should expect to have to demonstrate a ROBOT’S ability to constrain itself per above during inspection. Constraints may be implemented with either hardware or software.
Similar Rules
Rule R106
R106 Horizontal extension – one direction at a time.
ROBOTS may not extend beyond their ROBOT PERIMETER in more than one direction
(i.e. over more than 1 side of the ROBOT) at a time. The extension may not
reach outside the projection of that side of the ROBOT PERIMETER.
For the purposes of this rule, a round or circular section of FRAME PERIMETER is
considered to have an infinite number of sides. MOMENTARY and inconsequential
extensions in multiple directions are an exception to this rule.
Rule R101
R101
*ROBOT PERIMETER must be fixed. The
ROBOT (excluding BUMPERS) must have a ROBOT PERIMETER, contained
within the BUMPER ZONE and established while in the ROBOT’S STARTING
CONFIGURATION, that is comprised of fixed, non-articulated structural elements
of the ROBOT. Minor protrusions no greater than 0.25in (0.64cm) such as
bolt heads, fastener ends, weld beads, and rivets are not considered part of
the ROBOT PERIMETER.
Rule R102
R102 *STARTING CONFIGURATION – no overhang. In
the STARTING CONFIGURATION (the physical
configuration in which a ROBOT starts a MATCH), no part of the ROBOT shall
extend outside the vertical projection of the ROBOT PERIMETER, with the
exception of its BUMPERS and minor protrusions such as bolt heads, fastener
ends, rivets, cable ties, etc.
Rule R403
R403
*BUMPER extension limit.
BUMPERS must not extend more than 4.0in (10.16cm) from the ROBOT PERIMETER.
