Re: Team Update: Drive Team Placement in Playoffs
The Q&A was answered, and confirms this Blue alliance advantage:
Quote:
Q317 Q. Sec 5.1 states that "...require ALLIANCES to alternate placement of their ROBOTS, starting with the Red ALLIANCE.", implying that the order of ROBOT placement is Red, Blue, Red, Blue, Red, Blue. Sec 5.4.4 states that during Playoff MATCHES "The higher seeded ALLIANCE will always be assigned to the Red side of the FIELD" This implies that the lower seeded alliance (blue) is given the advantage of placing last and reacting to their higher seeded opponent (red). Is this the intent of the rule?
A. Sections 5.1 and 5.4.4 are correct as written, and as you have described in your question.
