RULE Question.
Posted by Matthew Probert at 2/10/2001 11:25 PM EST
Other on team #360, Rainier Roboteers, from Bellarmine Prep and University of Washington Electrical Engineering. Has FIRST stopped responding to email queries? Does anybody know if we are allowed to use the wall in front of the operator stations to fall against at the start of the match? |

Posted by Matthew Probert on 2/10/2001 11:25 PM EST: Just recently we were watching videos of last year and noticed a couple of teams who did that... Seems to be no reason why not.. nor a rule about it.. of course provided that you don't damage the field... |

Posted by Matthew Probert on 2/10/2001 11:25 PM EST: I think that the "starting" box on the field is away from the operator station wall. (Or at least it was last year...) The field dimensions haven't changed much either. Standing up before a match is a good idea to increase your total length on the ground...but I doubt you can use the wall as a support. Just my personal thoughts... Chris, #368 |

Posted by Matthew Probert on 2/10/2001 11:25 PM EST: I'm not even sure if this is a rule this year (past years fuzzing with this years in my head) but I know it was illegal to interact with intentionally interacting with the playing field border in the past. I would assume that the player station would be considered the field boundary and that you couldn't interact with it because of that rule. That of course assumes that this rule was in place....

Engineer on team #47, Chief Delphi, from Pontiac Central High School and Delphi Automotive Systems. In Reply to: Re: RULE Question. Posted by Matt Leese on 2/11/2001 6:14 PM EST: I agree with Matt. I don't have the rules here to quote chapter and verse, but I seem to recall that only the bridge and barrier are allowed to be intentionally reacted with/against. I suppose that a legalistic interpretation would not allow falling against the player station wall every time out. But... I suppose you should ask FIRST to be sure. Joe J. |
