[G33]
During Teleop, Players must be within their Alliance Station. Inbounders who were in the Kinect Station during Hybrid must return safely and expediently to their Alliance Station at the start of Teleop. Inbounders must remain behind the Starting Line during the Match. Exceptions will be allowed in cases involving Player safety. Violation: Foul Emphasis mine. Does this mean that you have to throw/toss the balls onto the ramp at the Inbounder Station? Or are you able to lean towards it. In better words, is this rule stating that the Inbounder's feet can't cross the Starting Line, or that you can't break the vertical plane of the Starting Line AT ALL? |
Re: <G33>
My interpretation of the rule is that the vertical plane must remain unbroken.
“Inbounders must remain behind the Starting Line during the Match.” I am going to plan on the entire inbounder including any and all appendages and clothing must remain behind the line. |
Re: <G33>
Look at section 2.2.6/2.2.7 - the inbound station has a funnel on it. I think you're supposed to simply place the balls in the funnel, and have them roll out to the field. Also, note that the corral is inside the starting line - in order to pick up balls, the inbounder will have to reach across that line.

Re: <G33>
I think something that big will be covered long before competition. My guess is that they don't want Inbounders swapping out with or aiding the Drivers. So, you can't, say, grab a joystick and get going after you direct the robot via Kinect.

2.2.6 "The Starting Line is marked on the floor 4 ft back from the Alliance Wall, and extends across the width of the Alliance Station"
Seems like it does include the Corral and the Inbound Station. There should be an exception for those two areas. |
Re: <G33>
Uh, one of our mentors aspires to GDC. He thinks we'll just have to throw it into the funnel over the slot. And the corral is on the line. He's usually right, so we're planning on it.

Inbounders must stand behind the starting line, about 4 feet from the hole/slot for putting balls back onto the field. The issue is, can they reach over the "starting line" or not. The rules are very clear for your issue: Quote:

Re: <G33>
Technically, wouldn't this person be the 3rd human player? Or is there a rule I missed saying there can only be 2 human players?

Re: <G33>
He's old enough to help, and usually runs the floor crew at Finger Lakes Regional. That's why. Throwing it into the funnel is not over the wall. And the top of the funnel is below the wall but past the starting line.

Re: <G33>
For what it's worth, this question is posed on the Q&A. Now we can all stop name-dropping, ego-pumping, and wishfully conjecturing that the rule is one way or the other.
