Concerning "3) If a minibot is moving upwards at the end of a match, does it still get the 10 seconds to finish for points?"
From the blue box of <G02>:
Quote:

...At 10 seconds before the end of the MATCH, when HOSTBOTS may DEPLOY their MINIBOT without penalty, BASES will illuminate with the appropriate ALLIANCE color, while TARGET lights will show a green „chase‟ sequence. This chase sequence will continue until a MINIBOT TRIGGERS the TARGET, or time expires, whichever comes first. If a MINIBOT TRIGGERS the TARGET within the set time period, the TARGET light will illuminate to indicate in which place the MINIBOT finished....

To me, that is pretty clear. The chase sequence, and therefore the chance for a minibot to trigger the tower, ends when the clock hits 0. The mini-bot will certainly be able to continue climbing to hit the target, but it will not be able to trigger it to score points. Yes?
We're thinking of using static electricity to pick up the tubes. The programmers are trying to figure out how to make the robot shuffle it's feet on the carpet. - Tom Ore [more]
