Re: Scaling via jack up legs instead of "hanging"?

"an act performed by a ROBOT, such that at the conclusion of the MATCH, it is fully supported by the TOWER, is in contact with at least one RUNG, and has all of its BUMPERS fully above the height of the low GOALS. (update in manual and fix “at least one RUNG”) "

it does say that the root must be full supported by the tower. You still have to hang from it without touching the ground.

Are the jack up legs still going to touch the ground at the end of the match?

If so then you wouldn't be fully supported by the tower and not get the climbing points.

The base (BATTER) of the tower is considered part of the TOWER.

Check the definition of TOWER.

Quote:
the part of the CASTLE constructed between PLAYER STATIONS two (2) and three (3)
with three (3) faces, three (3) RUNGS, five (5) GOALS, a BATTER, and a CORRAL
The BATTER is part of the TOWER, so just sitting on the BATTER you are fully supported by the TOWER.
