But, if you happen to be flooring it for the batter at the conclusion of the match, and you're just not quite on at the buzzer but the robot ends up fully on there, you'll be quite happy with getting no challenge (and potentially no capture), even though your robot meets the conditions?
Right, didn't think so. If your robot is still moving at the time power is cut off, it's got 5 seconds to stop moving. At that time, it is assessed for points.
bennett, it can be perfectly safe to have a pneumatic cylinder in operation, provided the operation was triggered by the drive team (or the robot's timers). I've seen that one way too many times, under far stricter pneumatics rules. 2004, 2010 to some extent...
