Re: YMTC: Redabot breaks the plane after hybrid?

I take it that the "non obvious" part of this post is that the crossing of the red finish line occurs while the robot is coasting, following the end of the hybrid period, but before the beginning of the teleoperated period.

If the robot were travelling in the "correct" direction it would not score points for crossing the line, since hybrid is finished but teleoperated has not yet begun. This is because the rules specifically require that the robot complete these acts during either teleoperated or hybrid periods in order to score.

I do not, however, believe that there is any such restriction on penalties, so the penalty for going backwards across the finish line should apply.

My scoring is: 8 for the ball, 4 for crossing the finish line in the correct direction, no points for crossing into the blue home stretch, since the robot did not make it completely into blue's home stretch... and thus no penalties, either... and a ten point penalty for crossing the red finish line in the "wrong" direction. 8+4-10=2.

Jason

Edit: Postings appeared here while I was writing... I do see the strength of the argument that the match is defined as 2:15 and thus the pause between telop and hybrid is not part of the match, however section 7.1.1 that defines the 2:15 length of the game states "The robots continue to play the game until the teleoperated period is over." indicating that the robots are playing the game during the pause, even though the pause is not part of the game... interesting ambiguity.

Hey! My 500th post!
