Trackball scoring
I need help in figuring out if you gain points for keeping (possessing) the trackball and crossing the finish line. Please help me out!

Re: Trackball scoring
Your alliance will score 2 points for the robot crossing the finish line; the trackball will not score UNLESS a) you drop it as you cross or b) the trackball is in contact with another alliance's robot (see <G10>). If either a or b occurs, your alliance will gain another 2 points.

Re: Trackball scoring
The way I read <G10>, "not in contact," could mean one of a few things. What if you're arms just sort of...incase the sides of the ball. The bottom, grazing the floor. Then, technically you're "in possession" according to this definition:

Re: Trackball scoring
If you back up, will the trackball follow? If so, you're in possession. If not, happy scoring.
I would guess the referee would err on the side of contact. Last edited by Taylor : 06-01-2008 at 00:15. |

Re: Trackball scoring
Yeah, I'm pretty sure that means that pushing, herding etc. is out. When the ball crosses NO PART of your robot may touch it. Hence no contact.

Re: Trackball scoring
It's going to have to be apparent that there is no contact. If you're relying on the ref seeing a millimeter of air between your robot and the ball, maybe you might want to think again.
