There *is* a penalty H14 for starting a rotor by any method besides turning the crank, which covers most of the rest of the 'creative gear scoring' Quote:

1. Fastest delivery to center peg, Pilot A lifts gear and hands to PB or sets near PB. 2. PB lifts and grabs gear with second fastest delivery. (You should know which this is.) 3. PB places both gears, finishing around 10-12s into match. And starts cranking for dear life. 4. At some point before (15 - 3 cranks) seconds, Pilot A has lifted last and slowest gear and slotted into Rotor 1. The idea is that Rotor 2 is the slowest part of the process. If you can start it first and feed it the fastest two gears, you probably have the best chance at starting both Rotors. Honestly, sans team this year I have nothing to ground my speculations, thus my musings about 3 gear autons and gear count deception potentially playing a role at very high levels. Siri, I'll admit that a completely literal reading of that section with new wording could mean that the 10 second timeout doesn't apply to any rotor past the next unengaged one. Which would make this possible, assuming no auton rotors: 1. Collect 5 gears + reserve. 2. Install on Rotor 4, spin thrice. 3. Remove, install on Rotor 3, spin thrice. 4. Install 2 leftover on Rotor 2, spin thrice. 5. Install next 6 gears on Rotor 4. 6. Install last, 12th gear on Rotor 1. 7. Rotors 2-4 engage instantly. Or within 3 PLC cycles. That just seems ridiculous and would make the 10 second timeout pointless. So I'm assuming the GDC is just poor at fully defining the Rotor behavior in prose. It'd be easier for me if they just posted that segment of the FMS code, but that's probably not going to happen. |
