Answered: Points scored at the end of autonomous due to incorrect setup

[Oliver_W]

Hi Karthik,

Scored – A Cube is Scored if it is not touching a Robot of the same color and meets one of the following
criteria.

1. A Cube is touching a Floor Goal of its own color, and is not Scored on a Skyrise.
2. Any part of a Post is within the volume defined by the outer edges of the Cube.
3. Any part of a Skyrise is within the volume defined by the outer edges of the Cube of the same
   color as the Alliance Starting Tile adjacent to the Skyrise Base.

Preload – The one (1) Cube each team must place on the field such that it is touching its Robot, not
touching any grey foam tiles or the Skyrise Base, and fully within the field perimeter prior to each Match.

<SG2> Prior to the start of each Match, each Robot must use their one (1) Cube available as a Preload.
A Cube is considered to be legally preloaded if it is touching the Robot, not touching any other grey foam
tiles or the Skyrise Base, and is fully within the field perimeter. (See figures 18 & 19)

If a referee fails to ensure that a preload is touching its robot before the match, and the robot doesn’t move in autonomous, and the cube meets the definition of Scored at the end of autonomous (touching the floor goal and not touching the robot) then should the cube be counted as scored?

If a referee fails to ensure that a preload is touching its robot before the match, and the robot doesn’t move in autonomous, and the cube meets the definition of Scored at the end of autonomous (touching the floor goal and not touching the robot) then should the cube be counted as scored?

The Match should never be started until all teams are in compliance with <SG2>. If the match is started in an incorrect state due to referee negligence and this state affects the Match result, the Match should be replayed as per <G15>.
