Looking over the game manual it explains the point bonus for High and Low hanging robots but I did not see it specifically say when or for how long. Are these bonuses only for the position of the robot at the end of the match or is it possible to score these points during other phases of the game?
I had just assumed it was at the end of the match based on the FRC game.
At the end of the autonomous period, the alliance with the most points receives a bonus. Hanging points are incorporated in determining this bonus.
All hanging points will be issued for teams who meet the definition of hanging at the end of the match. Please note rule <G9> from Section 2 of the VEX Round Up Game Manual.
This means robots that are hanging will need to remain hanging once the match is over. A team who falls below the required height will not receive the points for hanging.
