Re: What the heck is going on????
Extending your robot arm (appendage) across the opponent's finish line from the other side of the overpass most likely violates rule <G36>.
BTW, I noticed that there's a related thread on this subject: http://www.chiefdelphi.com/forums/sh...threadid=60767 A moderator might step in and merge the discussion... |

Re: What the heck is going on????
Lot's of discussion going on about this. In defense of the animator, the rules are probably in flux until the last minute before the manual is released, but the animation is completed earlier...GDC will likely resolve this in Update #1

Re: What the heck is going on????
Well, you've only got six more weeks of confusion and frustration before the robot goes in the box.
The rules will get clarified in the next few days, don't worry - be happy!! |

Re: What the heck is going on????
I can think of several solutions.
Maybe the rule is intentional and won't be changed. |

With the second and fourth points, the opposing alliance will want to leave your trackball on it's overpass until the last second. The "gentleman's agreement" will probably need to include language like "agree to knock opponent's ball off at the first teleoperated pass" otherwise things might get "sticky". As long as a possessed ball is not considered to be part of the robot (I haven't seen a rule that states this is the case), knocking your ball off with another ball would work. If the possessed ball is released before hitting your ball on the overpass, then I don't believe any infraction is incurred. Taking the penalty outright just doesn't seem right, but if it's done early enough the alliance still might net a bunch of points. Comment: In the kick-off, we were reminded that FIRST is not about winning at all costs. Is it GP to intentionally incur a penalty? Maybe this is a test...

Re: What the heck is going on????
it works like this, no matter how many man hours they put into testing the rules and making them flawless Well, always find fault because
A were not the ones who wrote the rules, we see things they wouldn't B ive spend 16 straight hours today picking apart these rules if every other first student did half of that.. our man hours who be theres ^9 or so, you just cant compete with the sheer number of man hours avalible to the general population C We kids, there dumb adults. fill in the blanks (lol JK) ![]() |

Think of it as beta testing with an active user community that really wants to improve the product as fast as possible. It's priceless and invaluable work that FIRST teams do each year. This is not about making someone wrong, it's about getting it right for the competitions. |
