YMTC: Redabot completes an autonomous lap

Thank you 2008 GDC! You Make The Call (YMTC) is a series of situations where you are the official and make the call.
Please reference specific rules when applicable. The results of YMTC are not official and are for educational purposes only.

Welcome to the inaugural Dogwood Regional. Redateam has created one of the fastest cornering robots that the FIRST community has ever seen. On Thursday, Redateam’s autonomous code, designed to send Redabot racing around the track and across at least five “lines,” was giving them a serious headache. Redabot was bashing into wall after wall after wall. By Friday morning, however, Redabateam had their autonomous code seemingly ready to roll.

As Redateam’s first match of the Dogwood Regional begins, Redabot shoots out of the gate, screams across the Red finish line, and makes the first turn in hair-raising fashion before slamming into the outside wall in the Blue Home Stretch. Still moving, though at a noticeably slower pace, Redabot zips across the Blue finish line, down the Blue lane, and comes crashing into the Red Alliance Station Wall. With time running out, Redabot crosses into the Red Home Stretch, makes a turn, and limps toward the Red finish line to try to score that fifth line. As the buzzer sounds, Redabot’s front wheels have only just reached the finish line. Redabot then coasts to a stop nearly seven feet beyond the line as Redateam erupts into cheers for their rambunctious robot!

How many points has Redabot scored for Redalliance?


Based on the 2008 Rules, YOU MAKE THE CALL!
