Re: WVROX
Rule updates per the 5/16/16 update
Quote:
- Regular FIRST Stronghold rules unless otherwise noted below
- Contact for interfering with a robot crossing a defense is still a penalty, but no safe zones for shooting. A robot having completely crossed a defense and preparing to shoot can be defended.
- Repetitive high speed bashing of a robot by another will be called as a tech foul. This is an endurance event and it is already going to be hard on the machines. Blocking, defending etc. are acceptable, but a pinned robot cannot be beat upon by another machine – tech foul.
- 8 balls to bring down a tower in qualification matches, 10 balls in elimination rounds.
- Every two cycles of qualification matches (every eight matches), a defense will be selected at random to be swapped with its alternate version. Every cycle in between (again on an eight match rotation), two defenses will be chosen at random to be swapped. There will be no portcullis, so the low bar and the cheval de fries will stay out for every match.
- Backup robots are legal for play, but must have color coded, numbered, bumpers and meet basic inspection and weight regulations ( < 125 lbs), i.e., teams are encouraged to bring at least a basic drive base with appropriate bumpers for when their primary robot needs repair.
