I’m told that in past years, the metal field perimeter was considered to be outside the playing field, but in the definition of robot elevation, the NBN game manual says the following:
High Elevated – A Robot is High Elevated if all of the following criteria are met:
- It is touching the other Robot on its Alliance
- The Robot that it is touching (see criteria #1), is entirely within the Climbing Zone
- It is not touching any Field Elements, excluding the field perimeter.
- The entire Robot is completely above the plane parallel to the foam field tiles, formed by the top of the field perimeter.
Does this mean that a robot can place part of itself on the metal perimeter, lift itself up, then allow its alliance to touch it to achieve a low or high elevation?
