Re: Eight discs on center line at match start?

Thank you. I must have missed that one. Back to the game manual.

So, bots that have no magazine, or don't shoot, would give up their auto discs to the center line. If you are a shooter with no auto mode, you should still take the pre-load so you can shoot immediately at the start of teleop.

There must be quite a few non-shooters.

Or a lot of teams choose for the easier "up front" shot in auto starting in front of the auto line, therefore limiting them to only 2 discs. The 3rd unused disc is then placed in the center.

Re: Eight discs on center line at match start?

I know there was some discussion or Q&A of it but could you remind me if the discs are equally allotted to both sides of the discs already in the middle of the center line or is there some other method of deciding where they go?

Discs are placed evenly on either side along the centerline, as stated by the previously referenced rule.

Re: Eight discs on center line at match start?

Discs are alternated r/l/r/l/etc... until they are gone. One side may have one more then the other if there are an odd number of discs.
