I agree. But two robots working together? Well... that’s another story... Imagine two robots just sitting on either side of the finish line. One robot hurdles, the other robot catches the ball and rolls it back over the finish line (without any part of the robot passing through the finish line of course). The hurdler picks up the ball again and repeats the process... BIG points.

That has, of course, been thought about by the GDC and has, of course, been made illegal (I'll try to find the rule in a second, something about the ball having to cross the opponents finish line before it crosses your own again)

Yeahh. when they were doing it in the game animation it was just to roll it back so he could get more points by placing it on top, you wouldn't get points for knocking that ball down again.

Yup. The ball must cross the other finish line before re-crossing its own for more points.

BUT, (correct me if I'm wrong) after it crosses the opponent's line, you can hand it over the middle to a team's robot. That's unless they changed the rules and I haven't noticed.

Also, there's no freakin' way on God's green earth that I would even think about believing your claims. Like mentioned before, it's plausible that you would have a box just for driving by now.

AND, lastly, I truly hope that you didn't use any chassis/drivetrain you fabricated before kick-off. It'll be very dissappointing to your team.

Correct. I haven't seen anything that disallows this either.


... I'm not sure many people believe him. But it's always fun to go with the notion that someone isn't joking around and is pretty amazing! ;P

Define "working on". Some of your work may be illegal.
Just a friendly heads-up.
