“The deployment of the rescue kit may not be scored if it is not clearly visible to the referees (see 1.6.6).” - Should we show to the refree that how does it work, or how?
Hi @Rui,
STEP : I think there may be 2 steps in each “STEP”.
However we are discussing now.
So please wait until official rule publishing.
Rescue kit
When your robot distributes a rescue kit while scoring run, it have to be visible to the referee.
When the kit is distributed from under the robot(every year I saw such robot in world competition), it is hidden by the robot, so the position where the rescue kit has dropped is unknown. Some referees will not score your robot.
We want to score peacefully.
Of course, showing you how to distribute the rescue kit to the referee before the scoring run will help the referee judge.
However, it is most important that anyone can see the rescue kit clearly.
-> NEW 2.4.7 Stairs on path X 30 cm. space and maximum height is 2 cm.
In pag. 8 of 15 there is a scheme of the plate. I understand that the plate MUST be large as the width of the path.
So if the path is, for example, 30 cm., the plate must be 30 cm. large.
Am I correct?
In the rule the maximum height is 2 cm., in the scheme is <2cm. What of the two?
So if the path is, for example, 30 cm., the plate must be 30 cm. large.

Correct!
However, considering the ease of installation, it is physically impossible to get a perfect fit, so it might be a little smaller. Also please refer: 2.7.6 All measurements in the rules have a tolerance of ±10%.
In the rule the maximum height is 2 cm., in the scheme is <2cm. What of the two?
This won’t be a practical problem either, given the tolerance.
However, your point is make sense, and it has been corrected in the 2021 rule that is being developed.
Thanks,

PS. Wow! You know Japanese Well… I should say “doitashimashite”!
1- Just a detail: a tolerance of ±10% can have the effect to be in presence of a path large cm. 33 and a stair large cm. 27? It is an extreme situation, of course, but can happen?
2- The plates of the stairs are fixed to the ground and each other or are they not completely fixed as checkpoints and black tiles?
Mata na, arigato!
PS I studied nihon-go at Venice university for a period, but it was the previous millennium! Seems to be a century ago Now I remember only a bit of grammar and kanji

Yes… It can happen, the rules say…
But it is not the intent of the rules to intentionally create such situations.

It should be fixed to the floor like speed bumps. However, it is not fixed with a screw, so it will not be prevented from moving when a very strong force is applied. Build a field-friendly robot!

PS. Oh! You learned that a long time ago! But it’s okay! I’m sure you’ll remember it soon enough!
