Key Violation G17

Just read the Q102 answer: https://frc-qa.firstinspires.org/qa/102

It prompted my follow-up question: https://frc-qa.firstinspires.org/qa/155

Is this a potential fuel shot killer? Five seconds in the key may stop a proficient shooter from making 25 fuel = 8.33kPa & 8MP, and only cost them a 5MP foul.

BUT, G17 says there is an additional foul for an additional 5 second violation. So a defender can spend 9.99s in the key, prevent 50 fuel (16.66kPa/16MP) and only give up 5MP?

Seems like someone didn't think that penalty through.

PLEASE, let me know if I'm being an idiot here. I hope I am.

Re: Key Violation G17

The key is not a "safe zone" as such the best you can hope for is a >5sec "no parking zone"... they will get a foul . The ref with their arm will start a countdown each second they are in your key (to warn the driver visually) . That defender can exit the key before 5 sec and then enter the key again or hit you while you are shooting so don't expect protection at all... apart from the 5 second countdown for them to leave the key. Once they leave they certainly can re-enter for another up to 5 sec...rinse repeat

The retrieval zone is a no-touch zone so expect protection there.

G17 Opponent’s KEY: a no parking zone. "Foul every 5s" <---resets timer once the leave the key. So yes you can be significantly harassed in key all teleop long.

Remember these G17 fouls have to be seen by the ref AND counted by the ref, so expect some initial delay , once they start counting you know their foul timer started. They have to visibly count to 5 to enter the foul (and visually back it up) if they only get to 4 no foul. Its not by stopwatch its by ref starting their count.

Re: Key Violation G17

I always figured there was a big chance for harassment. Will be especially challenging in the elims when there is more likely to be a chosen defensive robot.
But when I first read G17 I didn't do the math. Seems the FOUL cost is super low considering the potential kPa prevention... and thereby potential RP loss.

Keep in mind you have entire Launchpad to shoot from

G23. Shoot FUEL from your own LAUNCHPAD. A ROBOT may only LAUNCH FUEL while in their
LAUNCHPAD (i.e. at least breaking the plane of the line with BUMPERS).

Re: Key Violation G17

I'm curious how it would be called if an scoring robot doesn't allow the defending robot to leave the key. Will they rule a foul on the defender for being in the key for longer than 5 seconds or on the scoring robot for forcing an opponent into a penalty? If it is the later, it becomes significantly easier to completely shut down a scorer that needs to score from the key: sit in key for 4.5 seconds, inch outside of the key and then quickly return before the scoring robot can get behind you.

If you prevent a defender from leaving for their timer reset you are drawing a foul, and can be called on it. And you might be considered to be pinning them too.

Shooting from the airship was something I considered.
Shooting a wiffle ball over 12 ft with your back against a wall, or shoot from 2 feet with someone slamming into you. Tough choice.

C08. Don’t expect to gain by doing others harm. Strategies aimed solely at forcing the opposing ALLIANCE to violate a rule are not in the spirit of FIRST Robotics Competition and not allowed.Rule violations forced in this manner will not result in an assignment of a penalty to the targeted
ALLIANCE.

G11. There’s a 5-count on pins. ROBOTS may not pin an opponent’s ROBOT for more than five (5) seconds. A ROBOT will be considered pinned until the ROBOTS have separated by at least six (6) feet. The pinning ROBOT(s) must then wait for at least three (3) seconds before attempting to pin the same ROBOT again.

-----------

Basically its up to the ref and how they see it, IMO if it appears the offending counted key parking bot is trying to leave the key to avoid the 5-count foul then it would be the pinner bot doing negative "forcing a foul" and risking a C08 most likely as at that point the ref is looking right at the action.

Ah, yes, the old "Ref's judgement" Q&A answer.

Could be a key violation, could be a pin call, could be a C08, could be some other penalty... probably depend on the exact situation. Might be all of them--I've seen something like that crop up before.

Re: Key Violation G17

Not letting a robot leave a certain position IS a pin. They use the example of trapping someone between the guards on the lift. You do not have to be touching to be pinning. Now, that's if they hold you for 5+ seconds.

It will be hard to get a pin call and even a drawing foul call. The key is not a small slot that a robot can get pinned. You are going in there with the expectation that someone else will be there too that may hinder your exit. Unless they purposely pin you in (or push you in from outside) a draw foul will be unlikely.

Re: Key Violation G17

- EDITED TO ADD INFO -

Hopefully we can get the GDC thinking a little more into these details!

The punishment (a foul for each 5s) is pretty light for the key... perhaps by design. But the added dimension of what happens if a defender is "stuck" (intentionally, or not) by a scoring robot is unclear... Some past safe zones have been clear that intention or being "trapped" in a penalized position is irrelevant, which further deters infractions. The blue box after C08 makes it sound like ANY type of counter-pin in a key could be warrant for C08... which has a violation of a FOUL or a Yellow Card if "egregious or repeated", which could be particularly subjective in this case.

Quote:
C08. Don’t expect to gain by doing others harm. Strategies aimed solely at forcing the opposing ALLIANCE to violate a rule are not in the spirit of FIRST Robotics Competition and not allowed. Rule violations forced in this manner will not result in an assignment of a penalty to the targeted ALLIANCE.

Violation: FOUL. If egregious or repeated, YELLOW CARD.

C08 does not apply for strategies consistent with standard gameplay, e.g. contacting an opponent while in your RETRIEVAL ZONE to retrieve GAME PIECES. C08 requires an intentional act with limited or no opportunity for the TEAM being acted on to avoid the penalty, e.g. pinning an opponent in your KEY such that they cannot help but violate G17.

Do you KNOW that this is how refs are going to be instructed to call G17's or is this conjecture?

Given that a defender may often try to go into the key, there may often be a pin beginning (and a counter-pin could ensue where the offensive robot or a partner begins to pin the defender). This could make it extremely unclear if the ref is doing the "tomahawk countdown" for a G17 (key) or G11 (pin)... and who the countdown is being made on.

Could be they never start counting to begin with. We know that NEVER happens, right?

Perhaps but nothing solid, its not a safe zone at all just a no-parking for more than 4.5 sec zone. Meanwhile a bot can ram you anytime while in the key I don't call that "protection"

The protection isn't in the rules, it's in being able to ram your bumper into the wall and have an aligned shot that is much harder for a defender to disrupt. The key rule basically exists to allow you to do this.

Re: Key Violation G17

Just for clarification, here is my Q&A question: https://frc-qa.firstinspires.org/qa/155

I was more concerned about the time AFTER the initial foul call.

Hypothetical situation:
Blue robot #1 (B1) drives to the edge of opponent launchpad in AUTO. At beginning of TELEOP, B1 drives into KEY, drives back and forth in the KEY for 9.x seconds, and leaves KEY for 0.x seconds. This would be a 5MP FOUL since an "additional 5s" was not met.
B1 then goes right back into the KEY for another 9.x seconds. Repeat for 130 or so seconds. ~13 FOULS = 65MP to opponent while severely restricting their ability to score kPa, which are what earn the RP.

As it stands this is very legal, and something my team are considering a counter strategy against.
