<R4> At the start of each Match, the Robot must satisfy the following constraints.

a. Only contact the Floor.

b. Fit within a 13” x 20” area, bounded by the Starting Position

c. Be no taller than 15”

A Robot may not expand beyond its 13” x 20” starting area constraint at any time during the

match. However, Robots are permitted to expand beyond their 15” starting height constraint at any

time during the match.

Note: Teams must remain within the 13” x 20” area throughout the match; this includes the full

range of motion by any appendages. An arm that extends out of these constraints while operating

during the match would make the Robot illegal.

Figure 8 & 9 – A Robot which starts the match with the legal size constraints, but then as the arm rotates, becomes too large.

<R5> The starting configuration of the Robot at the beginning of a match must be the same as a

Robot configuration inspected for compliance, and within the maximum allowed size.

a. Teams using more than one Robot configuration at the beginning of matches must tell the

inspector(s) and have the Robot inspected in its largest configuration(s).

b. A team may NOT have its Robot inspected in one configuration and then place it at the start of

a match in an uninspected configuration.
