7.3.6
<G56> ROBOTS in HOME ZONE - ROBOTS score bonus points at the end of the match if they are entirely in their HOME ZONE, not in contact with any element of the field (carpet, alliance station, goal etc.) and the lowest point of the ROBOT is higher than 4 and/or 10 inches above the carpeted field surface/ The number of bonus points an ALLIANCE receives is based on the total number of ROBOTS satisfying these conditions. Each ALLIANCE ROBOT entirely in their HOME ZONE at the end of the match is eligible to receive the following bonus points:
- Each ROBOT between 0 and 3.9 inches above floor level- 0 bonus points
- Each ROBOT between 4.0 and 11.9 inches above floor level- 15 bonus points
- Each ROBOT 12.0 inches or more above floor level- 30 bonus points



I know they referred to 12" everywhere else, so is the 10" just a typo?



Also:

7.2.3.2
<G07>The RACK will be moved (translated and/or rotated) to an arbitrary position so that the center of the RACK is within a 3 foot radius of the playing field center but the exact location and orientation of the RACK is unpredictable. After this point in time no ROBOT may be moved or repositioned until the match starts.



Wouldn't this mean one alliance could have an unfair playing advantage if the rack is shifted 3 feet towards the opposite end of the field (the end where they pick up their game pieces)?
