Re: FAQ for Q&A
Hold on a second, guys.
HPs: There are 3 HPs per alliance. One Analyst and 2 Feeders. <G08>.
The reason for the minibot moving upwards is that any scores within 10 seconds after the end of the match count as scored--but does that also apply to Minibots that are obviously on their way up?
Different level heights can be answered once somebody gets their hands on the field drawings.
So, here is the condensed list:
1) Launching minibots--is it legal under a) free flight or b) tethered to the pole?
2) Minibots at the top of the pole: Do they have to stay there until after the match, or can they slide down during/after the match under their own power or via gravity to make retrieval easier?
3) Are you allowed to move your own tubes, other than ubertubes, around after they are in scoring position?
4) If a minibot is moving upwards at the end of a match, does it still get the 10 seconds to finish for points?
5) How many minibots can one hostbot deploy?
6) NXT power, if used--is there some form of schematic or something?
7) What methods are acceptable for removing the Minibot from the post? For example, could it drive itself down autonomously? Could someone bring a long pole out and activate something on the robot to make it come down?
8) For determination of "above the line" during deployment, is the top of the Minibot supposed to be below the line, or just the hostbot device?
8a) Are hostbots allowed to push the minibots upwards or towards the post, provided that this is done below the deployment line?
