Go to Post last year I wanted to electrically charge our frame, then cover the whole bot in tape and say it was for insulating purposes. Then I settled down and read the rule book. - russell [more]

auton. mode

In auton mode, if your robot crosses your finish line (4 points) and then lets say hits a wall and then somehow ends up going back the way it came, thus crossing over the finish line it just crossed. What is the outcome here? 0 points? or 4 points - 10 point penalty = -6 points?
A similar question may have been asked before but i couldnt find it.

Re: auton. mode

You'll get your 4 points for crossing the line, and then get a penalty of -10 for crossing backward. If those would happen to be the only points of the entire match, you will end up with a score of zero - there are no negative points. But most likely you or an alliance partner will score more points. The penalties are taken off at the end of the match.

Re: auton. mode

basically, the penalties are counted separately from what you score, so if you cross one line (+4), and go backwards (-10), the score should show 4 points, go into teleoperated mode, and then at the end of the round it will say "penalties - 10" or soemthing, and subtract it then. Your score only increases on the scoreboard until the end of the round where penalties are subtracted.
