YMTC: Bluabot Pushes Red Vision Tetra

[Kevin Kolodziej]

As has been discussed, the only time a tetra is considered part of a robot is when it is being loaded from the human player. If the robot is holding a tetra and that tetra is touching a stacked tetra (of same color), the stacked tetra still counts because the robot is not directly touching it. As long as no part of the robot is touching the carpet outside the endzone, it is in the endzone, whether or not it is touching anything outside the endzone.

Now if the blue team managed to get the tetra under the red bot so that the red bot is supported by the tetra, which is touching outside the endzone, that is a different story - one that I would say does NOT give the red alliance three bots in the endzone. I suppose one could argue that if the tetra were removed, however, that the red bot would fall into the zone and still be counted. Hmmm...that is a situation that would be a tough call (unless I am completely forgetting about something in the rules!).
