I am having trouble finding the address to submit questions to first about the competition. I would be very grateful for the assistance. Well I might as well let you know the question I have. If a big ball sits on the castors of the two goals then do the points for it count. Thanks in advancePosted by Jessica Boucher at 1/25/2001 2:44 PM EST

No problem.
If you look through the FIRST manual, there should be a page devoted to it and where to direct certain questions. Anyone have this specific page out there?
Btw, thats a good question, maybe we’ll get an update sooner than we got the last one

The addresses are in the Admin secion. The address for questions about playing field construction is [email protected], other questions go to [email protected], [email protected], and [email protected].
In response to your question, I believe in a previous update FIRST stated that if the big ball is supported by the goal it counts.

The adresses are on page 3 of the administration section. We send most of our questions to
[email protected]… that is eric, the senior engineer who knows ALL the intricacies of every rule
(and he’s pretty good at rewiring faulty small parts lights that keep exploding)
To answer your question directly, yes, if the ball is supported by any goal, or any 2 goals (fully
supported) then it counts for points.
