Hello, I am part of team 3197 in Wisconsin. I have three scenarios that I need clarified, if someone would help me with them.\
SCENARIO 1:
Robot A crosses a defense in AUTO earning the Alliance 10 points. Can Robot A back up to the same defense and reach it from the opposite side and qualify as “reaching” the defense? Can it back up to a different defense and qualify as reaching?
SCENARIO 2:
Robot A successfully gets a boulder across a defense. Robot A drops the boulder into the courtyard. Can Robot A pick the dropped ball back up from the courtyard? Can other robots pick it up from the courtyard?
SCENARIO 3:
If Robot A misses a goal shot in AUTO, can Robot A pick that boulder back up from the courtyard and try for another shot once TELETOP commences?
Thank you for your time, and I hope you all have a great robotics year!
Scenario 1 is legal if you drop the boulder on the other side(in the opponent’s courtyard) and you can’t do double damage to a defense in auto.
Scenario 2: other robots can pick up and use the ball, as long as they aren’t holding one already.
scenario 3: yes, the robot can pick up the missed shot. Otherwise, if robots missed all shots, there’d be a bunch of boulders on the field that nobody can use…
“Once a ROBOT CROSSES a DEFENSE in AUTO, any additional DEFENSES that ROBOT REACHES or CROSSES during the AUTO period will not decrease DEFENSE STRENGTH nor contribute points to the ALLIANCE”
I interpret this as saying once you cross a defense you cannot obtain auto points for reaching or crossing another defense.
Scenario 2: Yes others can pick up the ball as long as they are not holding another ball.
Scenario 3: Yes after the missed shot the ball is fair game for both alliances in teleop
Edit: looks like others beat me to the punch but looking at the specific section of the rules is always helpful
Once a ROBOT CROSSES a DEFENSE in AUTO, any additional REACHES or CROSSES by
that ROBOT during the AUTO period will not decrease DEFENSE STRENGTH nor contribute points to the
ALLIANCE.
