<T5>
Be prepared for minor field variance. Field Element tolerances and Scoring Object positions may vary from nominal by up to ±0.5” [12.7mm], unless otherwise specified. The rotation of Pins is not specified. If a Pin is within tolerance, either on the Field or on a Starting Pin Support, it should not be adjusted before the Match. Teams are encouraged to design their Robots accordingly. Please make sure to check Appendix A for more specific nominal dimensions and tolerances. The Field and Field Elements are designed to be assembled and disassembled multiple times each year. Event Partners store and transport Fields between events, and the individuals setting up the Field at one event may differ from those at the next. While every effort will be made to ensure minimal variance, Teams should expect that any Field may be slightly different than another, and prepare accordingly. Just because something works on one Field does not fully guarantee it will work on the next, and is not enough evidence alone to determine if a Field is out of tolerance.
