Re: Feeding litter into can from human player station?

There is no restriction on a human player placing the litter into, or on, the Container. A luck of a throw can accomplish that. There is also no rule that requires a robot to put the litter into a scoring position. As long as the litter is in a scoring position, it is scored.

During kickoff, I tried, and it is possible to hold the Litter in the Human Player loading hole, and have a robot position the Container so the litter can be inserted into the Container. There is no rule that I found that prevents that.

I brought this up to my team yesterday. They all loved the idea because then the robot doesn't have to be able to pick up the noodles. We even worked out a rough estimate on how far the can would have to be. It seems like this might be the best strategy for scoring the litter.

How so The robot wont be taller that the 6'6". Where in the rules does it say the container and bins cant exceed that height. They wont be scored if final resting height is above that but it does not say the containers or totes exceeding that is a violation.

The point he was making in that post is that if you have 5 totes and a bin standing on top, the plane of the top of the bin with the hole will be higher than 6'6" and it will be physically impossible to PLACE a noodle into it while making direct contact.

Notice also a human player field introduced bin first on the floor, then a container stacked on top of that, then human player feeds the litter into the container, then lift the whole shebang very carefully now from the bottom up bin, right up and onto a 4 bin stack...Topped off. (The turn around and drive forward is the trickiest part without dumping that container into all those nicely stacked bins).

TNA under the existing rules will still be a major issue though.:D

Except that 6 totes + 1 recycling bin is the max stack, not 5 totes

I just re read the rules. As there is nothing stated against it, then it is completely legal

I agree with Alex: There is nothing making the placement of LITTER into the can by a human illegal, therefore it is allowed.

Prove me wrong?

'Snow Problem's has a pretty good video showing that it's definitely possible.

Re: Feeding litter into can from human player station?

We like this scenario for scoring the litter into the bin. Seems the best way to do it - and its legal! Also, I don't see any limitation on stack height. You can keep going up by lifting from the bottom and adding another bin under the stack! Reality catches up at some point, but this is just an idea.
