Re: Rules Questions

Quote:

<G25> END GAME play – ROBOTS may not occupy the opponents HOME ZONE during the END
GAME. Any ROBOT in an opponent’s HOME ZONE at the start of the END GAME will be
assessed a 10-point penalty. A second 10-point penalty will be assessed if the ROBOT is
still in the HOME ZONE 5 seconds after the start of the END GAME. Another 10-point
penalty will be assessed if the ROBOT remains in the HOME ZONE 10 seconds after the
start of the END GAME. However, a ROBOT that has been blocked or otherwise prevented
from exiting the HOME ZONE (as described in Rule <G24>) will not be assessed any
penalty.

So if blocked you don't get penalized.

Where is the rule that talkes about "herding" the gamepeices. I know it says that you cannot have more than one peice on the robot, but i dont think it says anything about pushing them around.

the floor is permitted as long as no other GAME PIECE is in the POSSESSION of the
ROBOT. Herding of multiple GAME PIECES, or herding of a GAME PIECE on the floor
while in POSSESSION of another GAME PIECE is not permitted (as this would be
considered POSSESSION of more than one GAME PIECE).

according to this rule herding is illeagal

[quote=worldbringer;549280]There's no reason that two robots can't fit on top of one robot.[quote]

Remember, a robot can expand as far as it wants during the end game within the confines of the home zone and the ceiling; that's up to 8' by 26'8" by ceiling height. I think two robots can fit in that space.

well my team 1778 has been looking in section 7 all over and we can't figure out if you are allowed to posess (carry) the oposite team tubes and or place them. In other words pick them up off the field and then place them or keep them with us. I really don't mean to ask a lot we are all having difficulty understanding the rules. there not really detiled.

No, you will get a 10-point penalty for doing that.

I have a feeling that this thread will help you think about this issue:

R12 also states that inside the home zone there is no limit to length and width; they were talking about expanding in the home zone at the end of the game so that robots can climb onto you

Re: Rules Questions

Are you allowed to hold a ringer through the chute and have your hand on the playing field side of the control area? Also, are you allowed to have your robot arm reach into the control area to pick up a ringer?

<S03>ROBOTS can not break the plane of the CHUTE. Violating this rule may result in the disabling of the ROBOT for the remainder of the match.

Re: Rules Questions

Okay, we're at over 100 posts in this thread, and there are discussions about at least 10 different rules. I'm closing this thread for the sake of keeping things organized. Please continue to discuss these rules, but start a new thread, and title it appropriately. For example, "<R12> robot expansion rules". This will make it much easier for people to find information about specific rules. Thanks.
