(Our robot CAN hold more than 1 object as long as it doesn’t actually do that…) This is a gameplay type restriction, not a design restriction. Possession Rules: In this game, robots are only allowed to hold 1 game object at a time. This overall means the cost limit is more restrictive for 148. New this year is the fact that items from the Kit of Parts are not “unlimited” but instead are restricted to the quantity actually received from the kit. These limits increased from previous years.
FRC DRIVER STATION SIZE UPDATE
Total cost must be less than $5000 (changed to $5500 per Team Update 1, released ) and no individual component can cost more than $500. Robots must account for the cost of components. $$$ Rules: Very similar to previous years. You need a bumper on every side of the robot, and each “corner” of the robot needs 6” bumpers on each side of it. This year they need to be mounted at a height between 0” and 7.5” off the ground. The control system is the same and we wire the robots like we typically have.īumper Rules: Robots still have bumpers, they’re still built like FRC bumpers are usually built. Pneumatic cylinders are legal if they meet certain requirements.Ĭontrol System / Wiring: No significant changes. CIMs, MiniCIMs, 775pro Motors are all available in unlimited amounts. We get to use a motorcycle battery, some stored air for pneumatics, and springs.Īctuator Limits: No changes which affect the Robowranglers. Power / Energy: Almost the same as previous years. Our bumpers last year were 8-9 lbs and the robot was “way” under the limit. The bumpers must weigh no more than 15 lbs (this is 5 lbs lighter than last year). Weight: The robot’s maximum weight, not including it’s battery or bumpers, is 125 lbs (this is 5 lbs heavier than last year). The robot must be less than 4 feet tall at the start of the match, and can extend upwards as tall as we want it to, unless it’s in in the “habitat” zone (the climbing platform).
Robot Size / Expansion: This year the robot must have a perimeter measuring less than 120 inches at the start of the match, and can never extend more than 30 inches beyond this perimeter in any direction (it can’t extend at all on the opponent’s side of the field). The traditional robot constraints fall into 8 categories:
