Re: Intramural game

Version 2 of the rules is attached. There are plenty more images (photos of the half-court that we built this morning), and a few rule clarifications and additions:
  • Many figures added, captions added, minor corrections (typos and corrections to terms used elsewhere)
  • Arena: Movable barrier is 5½” tall by ⅝” thick
  • Drivers box only extends 18” behind table
  • G6: other human team members added to rule
  • G12 through G15 rules added governing robot-to-robot interaction (adapted from Aerial Assist)
  • Yellow and Red cards defined as reference to Recycle Rush section 5.5.4.
  • R3 clarification of handle rules; separation of rule from explanation
  • R10 Special cost rules for parts from team inventory, donated parts, and second battery.
  • Added Match Pacing and Field Reset paragraph
  • Minor adjustments to field construction based on experience during final construction
  • Adjustments to team 3946 KoP: eliminate duplicate PDP, reduce to two VersaPlanetaries, add a length of Versaframe tubing, and specify 59” lengths

The only question asked by my team today that wasn't clarified by the update was:

Q1: What if a ball falls out of a goal during the match?

A1: Both the tote goals and the hand goals are quite deep, so this is unlikely. In the unlikely case that balls "fall out" of the goals before the time specified for them to be scored, they will not be scored. In particular, if a ball "falls out" of a hand goal between the end of autonomous and the end of the match, it will be eligible for the 10 point autonomous bonus, even though it does not receive the 10 point end-of-match "hand goal" score. If the ball "falls out" during teleop, but is replaced by the same or a different ball during the match, that goal will score at the end of the match, as there is a ball in the goal at the end of teleop.

OBTW, I wore some old working blue jeans and a 2015 CMP shirt to our kickoff. When time came to present the kickoff power point, I donned a long-sleeve denim shirt that somehow followed me from way before the divorce (in 2001).

Thanks to my reviewers: orangemoore, Chief Hedgehog, and especially AllenGregoryIV, for their PM inputs!
