You are correct, I just checked that. You get 10 points in Auto, and 5 points in tele for crossing an undamaged defense. a defense is considered damaged once its strength is zero, so you can get points for crossing twice

Great game! Has lots of opportunities for gotchas and trade space when it comes to design. It will be rough on volunteers. Challenge Accepted.

If we score a ball during auto does that count against the enemy's castle?

Section 3.1.4: The Tower
Each TOWER starts the MATCH with eight (8) STRENGTH. Each BOULDER scored in a GOAL decreases the TOWER’S STRENGTH by one (1).

Hmm doesnt say anything about auton/teleop

Did first give us regulations regarding the flag we post above our player station? This is a very important issue...

Can someone help me understand some things about defenses?

Am I correct in believing that when the audience selects the defense, the same defense is used on both sides?

When alliances make their selections for the other slots (2,4-5), is it possible for them to select the same defenses as their opponents, i.e. can both alliances choose the Rough Terrain for Category D? I could not find anything that prevents this.

I believe that that would be correct. But about the audience selection I am unaware weather or not is specifies.

Check out 5.5.10 in the Game Manual, it has information regarding DEFENSES.

I am guessing that it is a typo.

Look at 2.2.2.10 in the Game Manual, there is a drawing with the dimensions.

Can a defense be broken in autonomous mode?
