<G2> At the beginning of any match, robots must be smaller than 18x18x18”.
<SG2> Prior to the start of each match, each team will have one (1) tube available to preload into their robot. A tube is considered to be legally preloaded if it is touching the robot and not touching any field element or scoring object.
Questions:
Q1: <SG2> vs <G2>: Starting position of preloaded tubes may extend beyond the 18" cube boundaries, as long as all other rules are also met, correct?
This question comes up in every year’s game that has preloads.
Example: a preloaded tube (2" tall) laying on top of an 17.5" cubical robot,
the top of the tube is 19.5" from the ground.
