Alright. Thanks for the help!

Does anyone know if you can score on a tower after it is fully weakened?

[Zaque]

Do boulders scored in auto count towards lowering the tower defense? I didn't see anything either way in the game manual.

Can you go through a defense twice in autonomous?

between the ROBOT and FIELD carpet.

Unless there is another rule about traction that i could not find, would this make Treads legal as long they fit in this criteria?

I see nothing that says you can't but check page 31 for details about decreasing the strength of a defense in auto.

So is your driver station right behind your castle? Or is your castle on the other side of the field?

Yes your driver station is behind your own castle.

That's not what he is asking.

[MarieSpartronic]

Can your alliance accidentally weaken your own defenses? Because you are defending and the try to go to the neutral zone through the defenses...

I think treads have always been legal.

Speaking of treads, does anybody know any good resources for building and/or buying treads?
