Re: Negative Scoring

If you say so..... But in my observation robots hit just about everything on the field so chances are a few robots are going to hit other robots in the loading zone. This probably wont be much of a problem for teams with designated and well trained drive teams, but for teams (like mine) that do not have a designated drive team, and none of whose members have gotten a good chance to practice driving it might be a bit of a problem. And one has to consider that in order to hit the other teams robot in the loading zone the robot has to be on the opposite side of the field so the vision of the drivers is obstructed. Thats just my take on things.

The solution to that "problem" is obvious: practice driving.

Re: Negative Scoring

According to FIRST Q&A there will be NO negative scores.
So before you score your first point, hit one of the opponent robots in their scoring zone. That way you won't get penalized with 30 points

Re: Negative Scoring

I don't think that would be "gracious professionalism." Oh well. As long as it doesn't "seriously affect the outcome of the match." Otherwise your robot could get disabled, and your alliance might lose.

I believe that penalties are factored into the score at the end of the match, so it would still affect your score to it's max potential, unless you have no points at the end.

It would've helped if FIRST had had a penalty in its demonstration video. They demonstrated every scoring technique...except for negative scoring (penalties).
