Answered: Defintion of "object" in terms of <G9>

[TN-36]

Hi GDC,
A fellow teammate pointed out that there is no definition of “object” in the game manual. “Scoring Object”

Scoring Object – A BuckyBall or a Large Ball

is defined; however, “Object” is not. Could the GDC add this to the Game Manual under “Game Defintions”? We think it would greatly help with understanding whether or not a robot is considered an “object” and should be scored for hanging only after it comes to a rest.

<G9> Scores will be calculated for all Matches immediately after the Match once all objects on the field come to rest.

On behalf of our team: Thank you for all you do!

In this case, “object” is just using it’s normal dictionary definition, i.e. anything on the field.

In the case of Hanging Robots, the referees should wait until the Robot “settles” after the match to begin counting the Score.
