Are we supposed to memorize the rules?
Hello
Just had a question, are we supposed to memorize the rules? One of my mentors had memorized the rules... |
Re: Are we supposed to memorize the rules?
Do you have to memorize the rules? No.
Should you know the rules, at least in general? Yes, emphasis on Yes. Should you have a up-to-date copy of the rules? Yes, emphasis on Yes. |

You don't have to memorize the rules but if you're part of the drives team you'd best have a decent to good knowledge of them if you want to win. It doesn't matter how many tubes your robot scores, how fast your drivetain is or how quick your minibot gets up the pole if your accumulating penalties left and right. Read the manual. Know the manual. Love the manual.

The referees don't memorize the rules. But they do know what they all say.

Inspectors memorize the robot rules and they will gladly prove that during your inspection. Be prepared!

Re: Are we supposed to memorize the rules?
Not all of them, just the ones you don't want to get penalized for.

We forgot our flagholder. Can anybody bring a PVC cap to BMR?

Flagholder? What's a flagholder?
You need either 4 square flashing LEDs or one big rotating light, I forget which. :p |

And make sure your human player never moves off their spot, or your robot will be momentarily disabled.

Re: Are we supposed to memorize the rules?
No... Don't memorize the rules... There's 133 pages of them, plus the unwritten ones the inspectors like to throw in.
What my team does is we appoint one or two people to go and know backwards and forwards the rules. They don't nessisarily have to have them all memorized, just know when to look at the rule book (ie, if there is an applicable rule). This person is also in charge of doing a mock inspection near the end of build so we don't get suprised at the real inspection at competition. |
