Re: <G01> Question

It's been answered:

Quote:
Q. What is considered possession of the ball during the beginning of the Autonomous period? Do they have to be inside your robot or do they just have to be touching the bumpers? What can you do to make sure the balls do not get put on the coopertition bridge during Autonomous?
A. If a ball is not fully supported by the Robot, it will be considered unused and placed on the Coopertition Bridge.

Re: <G01> Question

Thanks. That will change our strategy a little bit.

Unfortunately it's not up to our interpretation. This particular "fully supported" definition helps determine where within our ball manipulation system we can start, dictating our cycle time, code, and even exact shooter specifications (in an attempt to reduce cycle time).

Presumably you would do so to let your alliance partner pick it up to score. So G01 permits you to preload your two balls, but does not require it.
I suspect it'll be the "Double Ubertube" of this year. A non-scoring team puts 1-2 of their balls on the Bridge and lets a Bridge Tipper snag it (after unloading their own pre-loads) to score. This may well be easier than orchestrating a floor pickup, though also potentially more risky.

Re: <G01> Question

You're probably right. We really need the GDC on this one.
