Re: Team Update #18

Only the minibot is allowed to trigger the plate and be awraded points and the minibot is only allowed to climb the pole so only the minibot is allowed to climb the pole to trigger the plate and scores points according to the race's results. Is this not the intent of the rule and the wording of it? Why can a flawed field not be accepted as possibly existing? Week one after all usually has delays from fixing some electronic errors. I, myself, got frustrated in week 1 trying to fix why the robot sat still for 2 qualification matches when the drive-team reports they have communication, we already tested in the pits, and it was working earlier.

Humans only have so much insight before forgetting something. The GDC might have thought saying 4N of force acting on the trigger plate was enough but apparently it did not happen so. I cannot say anything on what they should have or should not done.
