Re: YMTC: Bluabot "Descores" Red Tetra
Quote:
<S05> A ROBOT may not impede the placement of TETRAS on the loading structures or the hand-off of a TETRA by a HUMAN PLAYER to a ROBOT. No HUMAN PLAYER or field attendant may be accosted by a ROBOT while placing TETRAS. Violations will result immediate disabling of the offending ROBOT, and disqualification of the alliance. I have a problem with the part that mentions a human being accosted by a robot. My problem with it stems from the definition of “accost.” Main Entry: ac·cost Pronunciation: &-'kost, -'käst Function: transitive verb : to approach and speak to often in a challenging or aggressive way While it may be that machine vision has been added to this year’s game, I have yet to hear one talk. Should we then seize upon this loophole and take it to mean that we’re free to drive our robot into the opposition’s zone and use it to beat the tar out of their human player? Of course not! We are not barbarians! We know, or should know by now, darned well how this year’s game is supposed to be played. We should not seize upon the fact that a particular Q & A did not address every possible twist and turn. We should either follow the spirit of the ruling, or start downloading the rules for next year’s game tomorrow. I expect it would take that long to fetch the rule set needed to counter every devious scheme that you all may come up with. Quote:
And you do build a robot that defies Newton's Laws? Sorry for changing the $0.02 at the end of the quotes to $0.01. It was the only way I could make it add up. ![]() |
