Re: Scoring Question
Look at it this way...Litter in the drum behind the drivers station is NOT Unprocessed Litter (scores zero), 1 litter only per recycle container properly scored in or on, a/properly scored Recycle Container (that is stacked on a properly scoring grey tote on a scoring platform...AND is Not any higher than a stack 6 grey totes high maximum)...scores your alliance 6 points. Processed litter fully contained within your landfill zone at the end of the match scores your alliance 1 point each. And finally, any other unprocessed litter anywhere else on the FIELD scores the opposing alliance +4 points each.
___________
Now, my question is...Who will be watching the Human Players? That wasn't really covered in "Figure 3-6: LITTER within the ARENA at the end of a MATCH"....Except Litter C. as UNPROCESSED LITTER on either the Red or Blue side of the FIELD.
While below the diagram the explanation of; "LITTER F remains in the Bin and does not score as an UNPROCESSED LITTER Bonus as it is not on the FIELD."
Neither is that litter that may be in any of 4 different Human Players in their Human player Zones/Stations (but not yet entered onto the field either). AND THAT SITUATION was not covered anywhere in the diagram.
Processed Litter, or UNPROCESSED LITTER? Who wants to ask the Q&A that question on the 7th of January? What about that hanging one that is still in the litter shute, half in the field, and half in the Human Player Area? LOL. It will happen more than once...Bet on it!
"LITTER within the ARENA at the end of a MATCH".... THE ARENA encompasses, according to the diagram Figure 2-1 The Field and all elements...Or, (The entire Red/Blue Carpeted Area and everything contained therein except that holding barrel, as that is specifically explained as "LITTER F remains in the Bin and does not score as an UNPROCESSED LITTER Bonus as it is not on the FIELD."
There are a few conflicting details here that could just use a Q&A answer (or 2), as relates to Litter remaining at the end of the match in the Human Player Areas...Before we face the issues in Match Play later...Unprocessed Litter or Not?
(I'm not really trying to lawyer the rules just some more GDC clarification seems really necessary...Up to 4 Human Players could be holding or dropping litter quickly or running (walking fast), it back to that all important litter starting barrel when the buzzer goes off). Robots I'm not worried about, both are on the field, and cannot be left touching scoring items...Unprocessed Litter no doubt if not in the landfill zone.
Yes folks, an FRC wide "TNA" could be looking better & better and much more logical every day. (Maybe we can just have a huge 2015 FIRST FRC season starting bonfire and just incinerate all that litter and forget about recycling it...Or, better yet recycle it by turning it into much needed heat).
We could surely use some heat in AZ to melt all the snow we received as a New Years Present...It's really cold out!
