Re: Robot Arm C
Not official, etc...
Let me refer you to: para 3.e
https://www.soinc.org/sites/default/fil ... 150730.pdf
And of course para 3.d is still in force.
Coaching comment. If you have a device that is physically sealed (not a screwed shut battery compartment), it might be smart to have technical documentation on said device showing voltage info.

Re: Robot Arm C
Thank you so much for all your help!
One additional question, though. After the event supervisor checks to see if the Robot Arm fits within 30 x 30 x 100, can we outstretch the arm before connecting the power supplies as I feel like the arm would jerk up suddenly even if I attempt to mimic my slave arm as much as possible with my master arm?
So I guess basically, after checking dimensions, do you only allow competitors to connect their power sources?
Thank so so much!

Re: Robot Arm C
Please ignore the prior question. I thoroughly re-read all the rules.
My questions now is, after preparation time, must the device fit inside the 30 x 30 x 100
6c says that the Device must be in the Device Square
Does this mean it must fit inside the 30 x 30 x 100
E.g. does the "ready to run configuration" mean being able to fit inside 30 x 30 x 100
Can anyone with competition experience comment?

Re: Robot Arm C
Anytime you see the words "ready to run" in SO rules, it literally means that the device is setup such that the moment the event supervisor says 'go', you are able to operate the device without any further setup / configuration required.blueice wrote:Is this from prior competition experience?
Also, so the robot can be powered on in the ready to run configuration?
I apologize for all the question. I am quite a newb

I have placed first at cypress falls, MIT, and regionals so far. My comments reflect all experience gained from those competitionsblueice wrote:Is this from prior competition experience?

Re: Robot Arm C
Just out of curiosity, if an item is fully supported by an end effector, which is fully supported by the goal cartons, does it count? In other words, can transitivity apply to the objects, end effectors, and goal cartons. Thanks!

Re: Robot Arm C
That ones sufficiently convoluted, but real, that you really should submit an FAQ to the national site. I have an opinion, but not strong enough to share even unofficially!
