Robot/Goal scoring: Official Answer Mike Martus

Question:

When is a robot considered in the "scoring Zone"?

Answer:
The robot is considered in the scoring zone when some part of the robot that is located within the 30 x 33 max size is touching the scoring zone. Such as a wheel for example.

Note: Not just breaking the plane of the zone but touching the zone.

Question:
Can I reach over and touch the zone and be considered "In the zone"?

Answer:
No. Touching the zone must be within the 30 x 33 max size.

Question:
Can I detach a part of my base and leave it in the scoring zone and be considered in the zone?

Answer:
No. You may not detach a part of your robot to gain the scoring zone. Scoring zone touching must be within the 30x33 max size.

Question:
When is the goal considered in the scoring zone?

Answer:
Following the example above the goal (casters) must be touching some part of the zone. Only 1 caster is needed to be touching. Not the base breaking the plane.
