Re: New Rules for 2006
Here's one thing I'm glad to see cleared up from previous years (for similar concepts - 05 endzone)...
G09: If your robot is fully on a platform (i.e. not touching carpet), and is touching a robot on the carpet, your robot is STILL considered on the platform. You can get points for your opponent being on your platform also.
Also, if you decide to use bumpers, you must use the design in the manual. 2 pool noodles wrapped in nylon fabric.
G21: A robot can go inside the HP corner goal 3" (break the plane). However, you cannot have any part that is designed to go in that 3". It's incidental only. I imagine that will be at the discretion of inspectors and refs.
G17: Cannot score from a tipped over position even if you were "intentionally" or accidentally tipped over.
