autonomus score question

[Brian Ha]

If your still in contact with the tube at the end of autonomous it doesnt count. But if you let go, get caught on a peg or something lift your hand in tele op and say knock that tube off, it still counts. This happened to us and we thought we werent going to get the points because it got knocked off but they gave us the points. So as long as you hang it and stop touching it in autonomous you should be fine.

That's the easiest way to interpret the rule, but that's not actually what it says:

The robot can be touching the ubertube, as long as it has released the tube and isn't supporting it.

You still get the AUTONOMOUS SCORE for the ubertube, because it was scored at the end of the autonomous period. I don't see anywhere in the manual that you get the doubler for the PEG SCORE if the tube comes off after that.

Oh well idk they still gave it to us so all the better right?

In a practice game at FLR we were blocked by a regular tube pressed against an ubertube, so we couldn't get to the feeder slot. We just drove at them hard, and the ubertube popped over the lane, bounced once, and landed on the bottom rung of our opponent's rack.

PENALTY for hanging an UBERTUBE in TELEOP.
RED CARD for scoring on our opponent's RACK.

The flagging ref said that if we could do it again, he'd buy us a pizza.
