Be prepared for minor field variance. Field Element tolerances may vary from nominal by up to ±0.5” [25.4mm], unless otherwise specified. Ball weights may vary from nominal by up to ±5 grams. Rapid Relay Balls are manufactured with a +2/-13mm tolerance for the diameter of a perfectly round Ball. Because they are soft and plush, actual dimensions may vary, and it is impossible to guarantee exact specifications/dimensions/tolerances in any given Match. Teams should be prepared for variance in Ball shape/size, and it is expected that Balls will change shape during the course of a Match and/or event. Event staff may periodically or at a Team’s request attempt to re-shape the Balls, but are not required to do so. Teams are encouraged to design their Robots accordingly. Please make sure to check Appendix A for more specific nominal dimensions and tolerances. Significant Q&As
