I think question 11 could be clearer.
a
[spoiler]
I was unsure if “33 x 28” max starting Frame Perimeter" was “during” the match.[/spoiler]

I also think question 15 could be clarified,
b
[spoiler]
I was not sure if the 1 point for obtaining control was to be included.[/spoiler]

I think the answers for the last two questions are backwards. Here is my reasoning:

My reasoning
[spoiler]


Time period     RED     BLUE
20s to 15s      10 pt   5 pt
15s             -       1 pt
15s to 5s       0 pt    20 pt
5s              1 pt    -
5s to 0s        10 pt   5 pt
total           21 pt   31 pt

[/spoiler]

Does anyone know What I am missing?

The 1 point is earned by obtaining ownership, the number of cubes required is irrelevant.

5

The amount of CIMs question needs a Q&A clarification, the table says unlimited and the blue box says 6.

6

"R33. The only motors and actuators permitted on 2018 ROBOTS include the following (in any quantity): " includes CIMs so I would go with there being no limit.

The blue boxes are always overridden by what the rules say so it will most likely be changed in the first rule update.

7

I don’t know, I got the same as you. It would be helpful if someone could explain why our answers are wrong

8

The intent here was that this base frame perimeter still applies throughout the match, since it’s the basis for the 16" extension.

I also think question 15 could be clarified,
b

I was not sure if the 1 point for obtaining control was to be included.[/spoiler]

Looks like I messed up when I added this last question to the form.

Yes, we realized the same discrepancy - I suspect the rule will trump the blue box come update time.

I have a discrepancy…

#8, if a robot contacts an opposing alliance’s robot while attempting to climb from its own platform, that opposing alliance does not get climb points. G18. The robot whose platform it is gets the climb, regardless of who initiates the contact. (And any robots supported by the robot whose platform it is.)

Now, it contacts the opposing alliances’ robot that is attempting to climb, that’s another matter.
