Changes for BC10 (http://www.wpi.edu/News/Events/BattleCry/rules.html)

• <G11> Modification: MOON ROCK Starting Positions – Each TEAM is provided with ten (10) MOON ROCKS prior to the MATCH. The TEAM may place up to ten (10) of the MOON ROCKS in or on the TEAM ROBOT prior to the MATCH. These MOON ROCKS must be completely supported by the ROBOT – they can not be placed on the CRATER floor. The remaining MOON ROCKS are retained by the PAYLOAD SPECIALIST for that TEAM, to be used during the MATCH (containers will be provided at each PAYLOAD SPECIALIST location to temporarily store GAME PIECES). At the conclusion of AUTONOMOUS MODE, each PAYLOAD SPECIALIST will be provided with a bin of ten (10) additional MOON ROCKS for use during the remainder of the MATCH.
  
  
• Bonus Circle ("BCX") Autonomous & End Game Opportunity: There will be four 12 inch diameter circular areas designated on the playing field by "X" marks on the regolith. These BCX's will be centered 10 feet from each crater side border and 12 feet in front of each alliance base station wall. Robot coverage of a BCX is defined by any portion of the outer "belt line" of the robot (including its bumpers, but not its trailer) overlapping a portion or all of the actual "X" mark.
  
  
  • IN AUTONOMOUS: Robots will be awarded four (4) bonus points for covering any part of a BCX at the end of autonomous mode.
    
    
  • AT THE END OF THE MATCH: Robots will be awarded bonus points for completely covering the BCX. The end of the match is when time is out and all robots come to a rest on the field. Alliance points distribution is as follows: 4 points for a single BCX, 8 points for two BCXs, and 15 points for three BCXs.
