Re: OVERDRIVE Rules/Scoring Questions
I still have a question about the legality of carying the ball over the overpass and dropping it on the other site (as shown in the animation).
Since the overpass scoring rule defines the 8 point score as "(2 points for
CROSSING the FINISH LINE – re Rule <G10> - and a 6 point bonus, yielding 8 points total)" and G10 says "Each TRACKBALL that has CROSSED its own FINISH LINE while <B>not in contact</B> with a ROBOT of the same ALLIANCE will earn 2 points"
Then doesn't this mean that if you carry the ball over the overpass, you are in contact with it, so by definition you won't get the 2 points.... and then maybe not even the "bonus" 6 points .....
