Be prepared for minor Field variance. Field Element tolerances and Blocks may vary from specified locations/dimensions; Teams are encouraged to design their Robots accordingly. Please make sure to check Appendix A for more specific nominal dimensions and tolerances.
• Field Element tolerances may vary from nominal by up to ±1.0”.
• Block placement at the beginning of the Match may vary from nominal by up to ±1” (25.4mm). If a Block is within tolerance, either on the Field or within a Loader, it should not be adjusted before the Match.
• Goal Heights may vary from nominal by up to ±1” (25.4mm).
• Block weight may vary by up to ± 4g
• The rotation of Blocks is not specified. If a Block is within tolerance, either on the Field or within a Loader, it should not be adjusted before the Match.
• Placement of Control Zone tape lines on the Long Goals may vary from nominal by up to ± 0.25”. The Field Perimeter and 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.
