Re: Autonomous Decisions- HUGE Impact...
Q51 is also applicable here:
Quote:

Q. [G5] At the start of Autonomous, 'bots in the white zone "may" be in contact with a ball. Does that mean that there is an option not to? If so, may the ball be placed elsewhere in the white zone? Or is it removed from the field? (Not clear from the rules.)

A. G5 requires that BALLS preloaded be touching the ROBOT. The "may" allows TEAMS to decide that they do not want to preload a BALL, in which case the BALL is removed from the FIELD. The only exception is for BALLS associated with ROBOTS that are not present for the MATCH or begin the MATCH in the GOALIE ZONE.
