Re: Super Cell Scoring Question posted 2X by me on Q&A but no reply??

To answer your original question though, it doesn't say anywhere (specifically) that a robot cannot score a supercell. However, it doesn't say that it can't either. (Also, I don't see why a robot wouldn't be allowed to score a game piece...) I never had any doubts that robots were allowed to score supercells. |

So counting me and Doug Adams, the question has been submitted 3X to the Q&A system-
Still no answer.... They seem to be answering a lot of other questions.... ![]() |

I imagine the GDC has hundreds if not thousands of questions to sift through, consolidate, edit, and answer. I don't know how many GDCers there are on the FIRST forums, and I'm guessing they all have 'real jobs' in their lives as well. Our team has posed about a half dozen questions and have seen no response; I'm not too concerned. I believe they'll get to it when they get to it, and once again the GDC is teacing us a valuable lesson - patience is a virtue.

Don't rely on the game animation to be your rule explinations, every year we have to explain to our rookie members that most of the robots in the animation break some rule. That animation should only be used to explain the object of the game to a non-competitor.

It has been officially announced (Update #3). Go ahead and use your robot to score them.

![]() -dave p.s. just for the record, every year the animation is correct and compliant with all the rules at the time it is rendered. However, the final versions of the rules and the animation are done in parallel. More than once, a rule has been tweaked at the last minute that causes something in the animation to become illegal. But there is no time to correct the animation before the kick-off, so it just goes "as is." And if you are wondering just how close we cut things when finishing the rules and the animation, this year was a classic example. I flew to Manchester to go to kick off and deliver the animation at 7:30am on Jan 1. The animation had not been completed and the final edits done until 3:40 that morning. , |
