: I would also like to call your attention to A 179 in update 7 'In Rule SC1 part 3 it is worded that you must either hang from the center bar OR be picked up by your partner. If you were to drive up on a pile of balls (and not damage them), you may be off the floor but would not be picked up by your partner and there fore would not earn the 10 points.'

If you want an official answer from FIRST you should send E-mail to Eric (ear@usfirst.org), Andrea Calvo (acalvo@usfirst.org), or Frank Melanson (frankm@usfirst.org) or telephone them at (800)871-8362 x107, x110, or x 109, respectively. You'll get an official answer much sooner than posting it here.

I don't see anything in A179 which invalidates A25.

Eric stated somewhere (I'm not sure if it was posted here or in one of the TUs, but I can't find it at the moment) that the rule against lifting or hanging from an opposing robot was added because of the risk of damaging the other robot; driving onto an opposing robot's ramp is allowed because the ramp is presumably designed to accomodate just that thus there is less risk of damage.
