Re: Team 71's 2002 robot

The good 'ol wayback machine came to the rescue again. From the competition manual in terms of scoring
Quote:
One (1) point for each ball if all conditions below are true:
o Contained in or supported by a goal
o Not in contact with or supported by your or your partner’s robot (opposing alliance
touching balls in a goal does not negate their value.)
o Not in contact with the carpet
o The goal is “in” your ball zone (the proper ball scoring zones are Zones 1, 2, 4, and 5)
• Ten (10) points for each goal in your goal zone (Zone 2 or 4)
• Ten (10) points for each robot in your robot zone. (Zone 1 or 5)
Zones were numbered 1-5 with 1 and 2 being on the blue side, 3 being neutral, and 4-5 being red.

Yeah, I think the score was 31-30, and like you said, if 519 got out of the zone, we would have only gotten 20 points. Maybe they couldn't release? Maybe they were preventing us from running away with the goal? Who knows...
