Answered: Clarification on PSC4

[meng]

Hi,

I would need some clarifications on PSC4… specifically PSC4(i) and (ii).

Drivers and Coaches may interact with their robots as specified in <SG4> of Section 2 – The Game, with the following additional restrictions:
i. Drivers and Coaches may only interact with a Robot if it is **touching an Alliance Starting Tile of the same color ** as the one they started on and no part of the Robot is touching a gray foam tile, except the interaction allowed in

ii. If any part of a Robot is touching a grey foam tile, the only interaction that will be allowed is to bring the Robot fully into the legal Alliance Starting Tile, into a legal position as per

1. If a robot starts off from the Hanging Zone Blue Starting Tile during Programming Skills, but ends off with one wheel touching the Middle Zone Blue Starting Tile, is it legal to re-position it in the Middle Zone Starting Tile? Or are we only allow to re-position it back in the Hanging Zone Starting Tile?

2. If a robot starts off from the Hanging Zone Blue Starting Tile, and ends off with one wheel touching the Hanging Zone Starting Tile, is it legal to re-position the robot in the Middle Zone Starting Tile?
   I know the 2nd scenario sounds a bit stretching the rule…

Thanks!

You are allowed to reposition from either Alliance Starting Tile of the same colour as the one you started the Skills Match on. In this case you can reposition from both the Middle Zone and Hanging Zone Blue Alliance Starting Tiles.

2. If a robot starts off from the Hanging Zone Blue Starting Tile, and ends off with one wheel touching the Hanging Zone Starting Tile, is it legal to re-position the robot in the Middle Zone Starting Tile?

No, you may not switch tiles during legal repositioning.
