Robot size requirements - IMPORTANT PLEASE READ!

[Richard Sisk]

Hello teams,

PLEASE BE VERY CAREFUL ABOUT ROBOT SIZE THIS YEAR!

If you have questions after reading below, don't hesitate to reach out to this group with your questions. 

IF YOU ROBOT DOES NOT COMPLY WITH THE RULES, YOUR TEAM WILL NOT BE ABLE TO COMPETE UNTIL IT IS COMPLIANT.

Imagine trying to shrink the size of your robot... in a day... in a 10x10 pit space. You don't want to be that team.

As an FYI, Robokong ALWAYS build our robots 1 inch under the size constraints to allow for mistakes in manufacturing or variances in measuring the volume.

Maximum Robot Size Reminder: We are asking teams once again to make sure that their robot, including bumpers, stays within the dimensions listed in R03. This is critically important. See the recent blog post here: http://firstinspires.org/robotics/frc/blog/2017-dont-be-large-another-award-reminder. Robot rules can be found in Section 8 of the Game and Season Manual here: https://firstfrc.blob.core.windows.net/frc2017/Manual/Sections/08-Robot.pdf.
