C Channel bracket on Platform

VEX Robotics Competition Discussion VRC
1
  • A C-Channel bracket will be added to the Platforms of all competition and Robot Skills Challenge fields. This addition is to improve Platform robustness, and does not change the location of the platform, or otherwise impact gameplay.

Does anybody have a diagram how this will be attached to the platform?

In engineering, we normally see the simplest solution as the most elegant :slight_smile:
