For any vehicle that travels out of the lane, I’m assuming we will measure to the point where a wheel or other part in contact with the floor leaves the lane.
Posted by: BAILEY in UncategorizedCorrect. As stated in C3 of the competition booklet:
3. If any part of the device that is touching the floor fully crosses a lane line while in motion, it will be at that point that Judges will stop distance measurement. Measurement will be a straight line (parallel to the lane lines) from the starting line to the point at which the device went outside the lane line (no diagonal measurements).
So even if a device goes OUT of the lane (contacting the floor) and comes back IN, judges will only give distance points to the place where the device initially crossed the lane line. *Keep in mind that the words are ‘fully crosses’, so if a wheel just rides along the lane line, that’s OK, but when it completely goes out of the lane line, distance points stop there.
