Where can you elevate robots? - ANSWER---The climbing zone
How many total scoring objects are there? - ANSWER---104
94 regular, 10 bonus
40 total on the field
Adult - ANSWER---anyone who isn't a student
Alliance - ANSWER---The pre-assigned grouping of two teams that work together for a
given match
Alliance station - ANSWER---where the alliance team members stand during the match
Autonomous period - ANSWER---the first 15 seconds where the robot drives/manages
itself
Disablement - ANSWER---A penalty applied to a team for a rules violation. A team that
is Disabled in a Match, is
no longer allowed to operate its robot, and will be asked to place its controller on the
ground.
What happens when a team is disqualified in a qualifying match? - ANSWER---They
receive 0 WP and 0 SP
What happens when a team is disqualified in an elimination match? - ANSWER---The
entire alliance is disqualified and they receive a loss for the match, potentially for the
entire tournament
Drive team member - ANSWER---one of three people who is allowed to stand in the
alliance station that can touch the remote, scoring objects, or robot
Are driving teams allowed any other people in the alliance station? - ANSWER---Yes,
one adult who may not interact with the remote, robot, or scoring objects
Entanglement - ANSWER---when an opposing robot is grabbed/hooked by an opposing
robot
High elevated - ANSWER---if touching the other robot
if touching inside the climbing zone
not touching any field elements
robot completely above and parallel to the foam tiles
Who can earn points when a robot has been elevated - ANSWER---only one robot on
an alliance
Loading zone - ANSWER---the area formed by the outer edges of the diagonal tape
lines across the alliance starting tiles and the field permieter bounding the alliance
station corners of the field
Low elevated - ANSWER---touching the other robot on its alliance
the robot that it is touching is entirely in the climbing zone
not touching any field elements, excluding the perimeter
the perimeter is not supporting it
the robot is 4 inches above the foam tiles
, What happens if, during low elevation, a judge questions that a robot is or is not being
supported by the field perimeter? - ANSWER---referees will gently pull the supporting
Robot away from the
field perimeter. If the Low Elevated Robot does not remain Low Elevated and supported
by the supporting Robot it is not Low Elevated. (i.e. It must be only supported by its
partner, not the field perimeter)
How tall is the high goal? - ANSWER---36 inches
Pinning - ANSWER---if a robot is inhibiting the movement of an opposing robot while the
opposing robot is in contact with the tiles or scoring objects
Possessing - ANSWER---carrying, holding, or controlling the movement of a scoring
object
pushing or plowing is not considered possession unless using concave proportions to
control the ball movement
Trapping - ANSWER---if a robot has restricted an opposing robot in a small space
ball in low goal - ANSWER---1
bonus ball in low goal - ANSWER---2
ball in high goal - ANSWER---5
bonus ball in high goal - ANSWER---10
low elevated points - ANSWER---25
high elevated points - ANSWER---50
winning autonomous period points - ANSWER---10
Can the robot touch the high goal? - ANSWER---No, they'll be be disabled/disqualified
What if a robot damages the field/scoring objects? - ANSWER---they'll be be
disabled/disqualified
Can the robot leave the field? - ANSWER---No, they'll be disabled for the rest of the
match
How large can the robots be? - ANSWER---18 inches by 18 inches by 18 inches
Can you bring storage for the scoring objects? - ANSWER---NNNNNNNO
In a qualification round, who puts their robot on last? - ANSWER---the red team
In an elimination round, who puts their robot on last? - ANSWER---the higher ranked
team
Once you place your robot on the field, can you readjust it? - ANSWER---
FRIIIIICKKKKKK NO, it also must be placed on the field on time
Can you touch the robot or the controls during the autonomous period? - ANSWER---
fak no
What happens to a scoring object that leaves the field? - ANSWER---They will not be
returned, you cannot remove them intentionally or you will be disqualified
When are scores calculated? - ANSWER---After the match
True or False
robots can purposely remove parts while on the field and/or leave them there after the
match - ANSWER---F
A
L
S
E
Who is responsible for the actions of the robot? - ANSWER---The team in charge
