Answered: Alliance Members in Driver's Box in Elim Matches

Hi Karthik,

I have been hesitant to ask this question since my memory may be faulty or I may have confused the VRC rules with the rules of another program. Since it has been on my mind and I cannot find anything on the topic, I will ask.

In the elimination matches, if the alliance captain puts in the other two robots from their alliance for strategic reasons or due to robot issues with their own robot, and the alliance captain robot sits out the match, is the alliance captain allowed to have a representative in the driver’s box along with the two 3 person drive teams?

I seem to recall that being allowed at some point in the past, but it may have been another program. Thanks for your time!

This is not legal for VEX Toss Up, as the Alliance Stations are crowded enough as is! We will consider allowing this in future VRC games.
