Answer:
Prior to the start of the match, each alliance places their robots in the Starting Zones on their side of the field (the right side of the field, as viewed from the Alliance Stations). The alliances pick which robot goes in which Starting Zone.

QUestion:
My team attended the UTC Scrimmage. During the event I, as coach, instructed my drivers to go to the robot controls when the field timer displayed zero per rule <G35>. We were warned by the field referee that at the Regionals we would penalized because we dpassed the STARTING LINE berfore the buzzer sounded. The buzzer was delayed past the field clock and seemed to be at the start of the 2nd period.
Will the buzzer be synchronized with the field clock or will the rules be amended to put the buzzer as the primary indicator for passing the STARTING LINE?
Answer:
Rule <G35> is correct as written. Team members must stay behind the Starting Line until the conclusion of the Autonomous Period. The Autonomous Period ends when the field timer reaches zero. The buzzer sounds at the beginning of the second period, after the balls have been scored and the assignment of alliances to offense/defense is determined.
