Re: Update #3

i agree with you...

G06 states that EACH ROBOT MUST be in contact with one UBERTUBE so you have no choice... even if your robot HAS no autonomous it must be in contact with an ubertube and contact with two tubes might be considered possession... although I am not sure of that..

I can't really recall any other game that allowed you to indiscriminately put game pieces into play at the beginning of the match unless specifically stated in the rules.

If you follow the same logic, there is no prohibition of having a player hang game pieces on your rack before the game either... it doesn't say you can't... lol

( I am being facetious here.... )
Clearly the spirit of the game is ubertubes in contact and putting game pieces into play at teleop...

One interesting strategy for a robot with no autonomous would be to place their robot next to the opposing team's feeder zone and put the uber tube mostly in the feeder zone so that it blocks a robot from coming in ... without, of course, having the robot itself in the zone which would be a penalty...
