Re: Game Manual - Team UPDATE - 2014-03-04

I'm actually curious about the G38 change for two reasons.

First is that the rule in the update differs from that in the manual.

The Update:

Quote:
G38

TEAM members may not pass the BALL to a TEAM member in another HUMAN PLAYER AREA (passing the BALL within an ALLIANCE STATION or HUMAN PLAYER AREA is permitted).
The Manual

Quote:
G38
TEAM members may not pass the BALL to a HUMAN PLAYER in another HUMAN PLAYER AREA (passing the BALL
within an ALLIANCE STATION or HUMAN PLAYER AREA is permitted).
In a case like this, which is the rule?

Going onto the reason why I ask. It seems to me that based on this change, that a team member seems to be permitted to pass the ball to a human player within the alliance station, so long as the team member is not the coach (G34).

However under the update, I would take this one step further and say that it permits a team member to pass the ball to another team member within the alliance station.

I cannot seem to find a rule saying that a HUMAN PLAYER needs to be the one to inbound the ball.

Meaning an alliance could have up to 3 INBOUNDERS and 3 HUMAN PLAYERS if they only needed one driver for each robot.

Basically I'm wondering if a 1-2-2 Human formation is legal. 1 INBOUNDER AT PEDESTAL, 2 INBOUNDERS at either guardrail, and 2 HUMAN PLAYERS down field.
