10 sec Human Player Question?

In the first 10 seconds when the human players go in and put the bins in the scoring area, is it ok if they were to put them in the gray area. Like leaning against their driver’s stations and then later on move them into scoring position.??

You and your alliance's Human Players are allowed to stack your total of 8 bins in any combination you want.

Human Players

When stacking tubs as a human player, they must be stacked in your scoring zone, and you can't wander out of the scoring zone. Also, I suggest you take a look at page 8, rules GM 17 to GM 20.

COncerning Boxes

Like Previously mentioned, you can combine boxes with team mates and i even believe you can only place then within your area, not on the grey, but thats not confirmed.

It should be noted that the boxes have to be oriented "right side up" meaning the bottom faces down, top faces up.

It's risky, but why dont the human players "gently" throw them into the gray area if they can not maneuver into the gray area themselves?

GM 19
"Human players can only place or stack containers. They cannot throw the containers."

<edit>
yaknow, woody said that if any part of the container was touching the scoreing zone that it counted as in the zone... so I suppose you could just have one corner touching the zone, tho I would ask FIRST on this one.. as it isnt a clear cut answer.</edit>

I also had a question about this. Through the question-asking period after the kickoff (We had a contact at the actual event and called them up) we learned that the container is considered in the score zone if the plane of the box is in the zone, because the boxes are wider at the top. Also, if this applies to a stack, the highest box with it's plane in the zone is the multiplier. So does this mean a team could put their initial boxes OUTSIDE the entire playing field as long as the top box is tilted in enough so that it's plane is inside the score zone?

I would say no, because that container is being supported by somthing that is outside of the field and therefore it is "dead"
anything that touches anything outside the barrier of the field is considered "dead" from play, including your robot.

i think your stretching it way too much....once the container goes out, i think its no points, and will always be no points

That's funny... at San Jose, we were told the base *must* be touching the scoring area, and that putting the stack outside (like in the gray) and leaning inwards won't count...

The box most be in your color area in order to receive the points and must not be supported by anything.(as long as some part of the box is in your area you will receive the point) Also in the rules it dose say that the human players are not allowed to put the boxes in any other area other then their scoring zone.

I agree. Reread SC8.

"A container will be determined to be "in" a scoring zine if at least some part of the container is touching the colored carpet that defines a scoring zone..."

I'd say that's pretty concrete.
