Sorry, but no. It's still one robot, hence, 10 points. However, if that blue team is in their home zone and the mouse is in the red home zone, BOTH teams get 10 points. We did that twice in the LI regionals (to boost the loser's score). [/b][/quote]
Kevin,
Please help me understand the basis for your confidence in this interpretation. I know that Dean opened his mouth at kickoff in response to a question and said that if a robot could "touch down" in both home zones at the buzzer during qualifications that both teams would get 10 points. And what Dean says, goes. Based on that, we all agree that the blue robot and their deployed mouse are worth a total of 20 points (10 each alliance) when parked in opposite home zones at the buzzer.
Where has it been clarified though that a robot/mouse combination can count for 20 points under some circumstances and only 10 under others? Forgive my combative tone, please, but I'm trying to establish whether you are expressing your opinion, or whether you are privvy to some official information that has escaped me. Also, note that my question specified that the mouse was DEPLOYED from the bot.
I basically think that FIRST has let loose an entire aspect of rules and scoring questions that they had not thought out in advance, all because Dean tossed off a quick answer at kickoff.
