PLAYERs (pre-college team members) and the head referee.
Our question is, if the coach is a pre-college team member, can there be rules dicussion between her/him and the head referee?
Answer:
Any discussions regarding rules, scores, or penalties must be between the DRIVERs or HUMAN PLAYERs and the head referee. COACHes, regardless of age, are not part of these discussions.

Question:
We intend to have a door open up and deposit balls into the lower goal.
If the door swings open and transits outside of the starting footprint but ends up inside the footprint would this be legal?
Answer:
If the door is part of a shooter mechanism (see this question/answer), then it cannot transit outside the 28" x 38" starting footprint without violating Rule <S03>. If the door is not part of the shooter mechanism or is part of a ball delivery system in which the balls are motivated solely by gravity (see this question/answer) then it may be permitted to extend beyond the starting footprint. However, it must still satisfy all relevent 2006 FRC rules. In particular, any sloped surface upon which balls roll out of the robot may be subject to Rule <R04>.
