FIELD MAINTENANCE
•
Border Walls:
Remove any obvious splinters, and cover obvious holes.
•
Field Mat:
Make sure the Mat touches the south Border Wall, and is centered east to west.
Avoid cleaning the Mat with anything that will leave a residue. Any residue, sticky or slippery,
will affect the Robot’s performance compared to a new Mat (many tournaments use new
Mats). Use a vacuum and/or damp cloth for dust and debris above and below the Mat. To get
marks off, try a white-plastic pencil eraser. When moving the Mat for transport and storage,
be sure not to let it bend into a sharp kink point, which could affect the Robot’s movement.
Tournaments using new Mats should unroll the Mats as far in advance of the tournament day
as possible. For control of extreme curl at the east or west edges of the Mat, black tape is
allowed, with a maximum of
¼
” (6 mm) overlap. Foam tape is not allowed. Do
not
put Dual
Lock under the Mat, or use it for anything other than securing Mission Models as described.
•
Mission Models:
Keep the Mission Models in original condition by straightening and
tightening solid connections often. Ensure that spinning axles spin freely by checking for
end-to-end play and replacing any that are bent.
