Re: YMTC: Redabot Scores 30 Bonus Points?

ROBOT is higher than 4 inches and/or 12 inches above the carpeted field surface. The
number of bonus points an ALLIANCE receives is based on the total number of ROBOTS
satisfying these conditions. Each ALLIANCE ROBOT entirely in their HOME ZONE at the
end of the match is eligible to receive the following bonus points:
--- Each ROBOT between 0 and 3.9 inches above floor level - 0 bonus points
---Each ROBOT between 4.0 and 11.9 inches above floor level - 15 bonus points
---Each ROBOT 12.0 inches or more above floor level - 30 bonus points
According to this definition it is the lifted robot that scores the points, not the lifting robot. Therefore the lifted robot needs to be entirely in the home zone, not in contact with any field element, not supported by a game piece, and it's lowest point at least 4" or 12" off the carpet. None of these requirements are needed for the lifting robot.

Therefore The red alliance should win this match because The lifted robot is not being supported by a game piece, even though a portion (not connected to the lifting portion of the alliance robot) of the lifting robot is supported. Now if the portion that lifted the alliance robot was supported (even in the slightest) by a tube then the lift would be negated.

Sorry, Dave. But since the subject of the rule specifically is the lifted robot, and since there is no reference to the status of the lifting robot in the rule, it has to be scored as a successful lift regardless of the intent of the rule.
