Picture, offical animation error

[7/16ths Master]

i have said this in other threads, so ill just copy and paste( hope it clears up a few things)

yea i was wondering this too, but worst comes to worst and the rule is correct, then u can just knock off the trackball from underneath since there is no plexiglass panel preventing it from being knocked off. This method could also be used to knock off your own trackballs during the hybrid period. It saves time becasue it does not require an arm or claw to extend up there and knock it off, all that u have to do would be attach an extending rod (piston) on top of ur bot and hit the trackball at an angle to knock it off. People may say however that this may interfere with the rules saying that it doesnt count if u pass the line before knocking it down. Well, the most u would go would be rite on the line, and technically, it cant be counted as u passed it because the ENTIRE robot has not passed the line as regulated and stated by the manual.


This is what happens when u read the manual like 50 times.

You know, im not talking about how strategy will be affected by this rule, im just pointing out that the game animation breaks this rule, so maybe it will be changed.

I just watched the animation video. The red ball was removed, from the opponents home stretch rack, during the autonomous mode. Does that make a difference?

Im just checking the video now, for 1 its Hybrid mode, for 2 it doesnt make a difference but im pretty shure it happened in tele operated mode

Okay ive checked the video.
It is in hybrid mode rather than teleoperated but there are no exceptions of rule <G36> concerning hybrid mode. I think there should be because otherwise its almost impossible to get the opposite ball down for the 8 points in hybrid. thank you for pointing that out.

It's implied that it happens again during teleoperated mode. I've discussed this in some detail over here: http://www.chiefdelphi.com/forums/sh...6&postcount=71
