Alright, a couple more and I might just shut up.
NEW FAQ:
Q. Given the natural predisposition of the game objects to roll if not perfectly upright, can a well-placed shoe, leg, buttock, or starter kit box camp out just beyond the edge of the tape?
A. No. If it rolls out then and is touching the outside of the arena at end of game no points. It will be played on carpet which help in the roll see rule 1.
-If a flopbot succeeds in doing the whole match without touching outside of the hard path, does it still get the 20 points?
Yes!
And one field layout question: At the corners on the hard path, how far is it from the apex of the turn to the edge of the field?
I don't know. Haven't built it yet. But the sides of the hard path are parallel. One side is defined by it being 3ft from corner. Other side by it being parallel. I am not good enough in math to figure that out without building it.
I loaded the rules so you can get to it. Try this one, let me know if you can get to it:
