Re: Pyramid Rule Question
We've been discussing the same question and initially concluded that there was no restriction in the written rules about when to start the climb. However, in the game video this might remain uncertain as it says
"near the end of the match" the human players can start throwing their discs.
In the next statement, it says, "at the same time, robots drive to their pyramids and start to climb"...
These comments are at about 2:20 into the game animation video.
If you look through the rules book, specifically 3.3.37 G35-B, for when human players can start to throw discs onto the filed:
"during the last thirty (30) seconds of TELEOP"
If the 'at the same time' statement in the game animation video is firmly linked to when human players can start to throw discs, this suggests the climb can only start in the last 30 seconds of TELEOP.
Not completely sure of this interpretation but for initial planning purposes it might be prudent to plan on climbing during the last 30s. But there's no specific rule we've found so far that addresses when the climb starts other than the linkage through the game animation video.
