My bumper weight answer also changed from 20 to 15 lbs to create an incorrect result.

Also:

If a ROBOT is not allowed to preload a BALL (for any reason), its ALLIANCE may choose to start with its BALL in which of the following places?

Your Answer: Off the FIELD


Why is this incorrect? If a robot can't preload, their ball is off the field. If they are a goalie or not on the field then their ball can be placed in the white zone on your scoring side of the truss.

Even with those, I feel pretty good about a 67 out of 74.
Thanks for the feedback. I can assure you the test did not change your answers on its own, and I know that if there was a human error in the answer sheet it was an honest mistake. As I said before, we need to scan through answers to ensure they fit the grading template properly, so there is a remote possibility someone could have changed them accidentally. I apologize, and will see if I can correct it for future reports.

You must select only and all the correct answers in order to receive credit for the checkbox questions. "If a robot is not allowed to preload a ball" (the question's wording) does not specify why that is the case or what the state of the robot is. The intent is to cover the case that the robot is not allowed to start with the ball given its current situation, not that it is incapable of a legal preload at all. Reviewing the rules now, I stand by the answer we have.
