How can you double park when each Park Zone is 18.87“ (479mm) wide x 16.86” (428mm) deep only. Smaller robot for double park!!

A Robot is considered Parked if it meets all of the following criteria:
a. The Robot is not contacting the Floor outside of its Alliance-colored Park Zone.
b. The Robot is not contacting any Field Elements other than the inside face of the Field Perimeter, the
Floor inside of its Alliance-colored Park Zone, and/or the plastic extrusions and connectors that are
part of the Park Zone. Contact with these allowed elements is not required.
c. The Robot is at least partially within the vertical projection of its Alliance-colored Park Zone

Are you on Robolytics? There have been some ideas for parking on there.

Might want to check out the end game of Nothing But Net for some inspiration

Many teams have already figured out how to park with only 50% of their bot in the zone while still counting as parked. If everyone independentley designed their bots to do this, the only real challenge is coordination.

Just have a small bot that is off balance
(don’t think to hard here)

The expansion limit puts a damper on these full size Nothing But Net style lifting trays.

The expansion limits are getting written in the first update. Presumably they will address the height limits as well in order to allow stacking that is featured in their own reveal video

One way could be to use a piston or something to push the back of a bot up so the bot can park. Not very practical, but very easy to implement.
