Rule issue: Untipping a robot
I know that the manual overrides anything shown in the animation, but if the robot must stay in the 28x38 box at all times (Not including the Finale), then how is it possible for a robot to untip itself, or other robots, as explicitly said and demonstrated in the animation?

Any thoughts?

Re: Rule issue: Untipping a robot
Read the Manual, Section 7, <G30-B> more carefully.

Re: Rule issue: Untipping a robot
Basically, when untipping a robot you can enter your finale configuration. And your safe.

Got it. Thanks! I was focusing on the Robot manual.

For everyone else:

Quote:
ROBOT Righting Volume - ROBOTS attempting to right themselves or their ALLIANCE partners may expand up to the FINALE CONFIGURATION maximum volume while, and only while, performing the righting operation. While beyond the NORMAL CONFIGURATION volume and righting, ROBOTS may not actively interact with BALLS or opponent ROBOTS.
