Re: YMTC: Redabot Scores 30 Bonus Points?

While i would like it be considered as qualifying for 'bonus' points, the rules show that it is not. As Dave pointed out earlier, anything you set out on the field is your robot. You cannot break the robot into various sections that receive different rulings. Redabot could have easily designed their robot to release only one ramp at a time, but they didn't. They could have foreseen this happening ,as I'm sure many teams may have, and designed around it.

If your opponent broke the 72" x 72" size constraint with their ramps you would quickly point out the rule that penalized this. Why? Because the ramps are part of their robot. How can you go about claiming that they aren't in one situation, but they are in another? The GDC is consistent throughout the rules as to what constitutes a robot, part of a robot, or what have you. You can't make an exception to the rules because you wish it was one way.
