It will be very important that all the teams understand the human player rules. Most of the penalties are coming from the human players

Top 10 ways for a Payload Specialist to get penalties, and lose the match.

10. Touching the robot control-panel at any time during the match.
9. Not being buckled-up in the Outpost seat.
8. Leaving their refueling station rectangle during the match.
7. Breaking the plane of the playing field with any part of their body.
6. Reaching beyond the airlock with the tongs.
5. Touching the robot at any time during the game.
4. Picking up a moon rock before the BUZZER to start the autonomous.
3. Throwing an empty cell over the Outpost Station wall.
2. Picking up any rock/cell in the refueling station without using the tongs.
1. Touching a super-cell IN ANY WAY prior to the 20-second warning.

Print these out and hand them to your alliance partners. I guarantee it will help you. The team I mentor has went nearly penalty free for two regionals.

I am your game announce and will hate to have to have to call out penalties.

Good Luck to all!
