Re: YMTC: Redabot completes an autonomous lap

I love it when people point out odd loopholes in the rules. I'm actually going to go with 18 points. The reasoning:
Quote:
<G02> TELEOPERATED PERIOD – The TELEOPERATED PERIOD is the 2-minute period of game play immediately following the HYBRID PERIOD. At the beginning of the TELEOPERATED PERIOD the OPERATOR CONSOLE controls are activated and DRIVERS may remotely control their ROBOTS. The DRIVERS continue to teleoperate their ROBOTS for the remainder of the MATCH. ROBOCOACHES may continue to signal the ROBOT. The TELEOPERATED PERIOD ends when the arena timer displays zero seconds. This also indicates the end of the MATCH.
Luckily, the common sense definition of immediately is the same as the dictionary one. That is, occuring without any lapse of time or delay. So G02 says teleop starts the instant hybrid hits 0. I realize this doesn't agree with reality or the intro section, but the intro section isn't definitive, as they say. So they finish crossing in teleop and get the 2 points.
