ID 975 - If the Vision Tetra is scored during autonomous mode, will the awarded "capping" tetras be placed over the corner goals *before* or *after* the hanging tetras are
removed (and, if before, would the now-dropped hangers stay scored?)
The question above is answered in G10, from what I see. They are not going to provide the bonus tetras until
automode is over. Therefore, if you don't drop the hanging tetra during automode yourself, they will remove the still hanging tetra, and THEN cap the goal with your bonus tetra. So you cannot count on the field attendant to make the hanging one drop due to capping the goal, because they won't do it until after automode is over, which is when they remove any remaining hanging tetras.
Good question - I think I misread the ID974 - so thank you for pointing that out. If blue and red both have one tetra on the floor inside a goal, and none stacked on top.... who would own it??... good question..
Both - each team starts out with equal tetras, equal places.. one difference I might see at the beginning, would be if one team chooses to have a tetra on a robot, and the other does not. The quantity is the same, one loading zone would have one less tetra than the others.
According to Dave Lavery, they will try to keep equalization between a teams set of loading zones....
The other questions I just posted what *I* thought, basing it on some of the rules, but will need to see what the final ruling is.
I am not attempting to answer for FIRST. There are some very good questions in Q/A that I thought might be well suited to post here for discussion and bring to attention to others that may not have thought of it. But there are a number that have been beaten to death and clearly answered, but are still being asked. So I was trying to reduce the repetitive questions, and maybe answer (from manual) more quickly for some people.
There are indeed some very small details left out of some rules, and hopefully we can get them clarified soon, so as not to affect anyone's design or strategies significantly.
Thanks for your comments!!

If there is no majority and no height differential...than what?
Doesn't answer the question.
Interesting. I was wondering if we would start with a fixed number, or whether or not equalization would go on during the match.
That is my thought as well, but I wanted to clear it up.
Again, I wanted to clarify.
Exactly--but it would be a cool mechanism.
My only corrections are to correct you about what was an wasn't answered. I responded to each of the questions I asked that you cited.
I served as the "official asker" for my team last year too. So far, this year, I've asked 12 questions, all of which have been assiduously researched to make certain that they were not already answered. There look to be quite a few loopholes and/or discrepancies in this years rules.
