Can you rotate the the high goal so that the Blue side of the goal is on the red
Can you push the high goal up so it is no longer at 30"?
Both of these actions are illegal and would be considered to be damaging the field.
VEX Sack Attack Game Manual:
<S1> If at any time the Robot operation or team actions are deemed unsafe or have damaged the Field Elements or Scoring Objects, by the determination of the referees, the offending team may be Disqualified. The Robot will require re-inspection before it may again take the field.
Furthermore you would also be at severe risk of violating <SG9> which deals with grasping, grappling and attaching to the field.
VEX Sack Attack Game Manual:
<SG9> Robots may not intentionally grasp, grapple or attach to any Field Elements. Violations of this rule will result in a Disqualification.
The current construction causes the raising and rotation of the high goal, is there a suggestion to adjust the field so that this does not happen, even accidentally
If the field is assembled correctly as per the instructions in Appendix A , the High Goal will be screwed in place to prevent rotation or raising. Please see pages 25 & 26 of the PDF document for precise details. I’ve quoted the pertinent instructions below and bolded some text for emphasis.
VEX Sack Attack Game Manual:
Step 1) Insert the the PVC Pipe into the square hole of the High Goal Bracket as shown in the above images. It is important that the end of the PVC Pipe is flush with the top of the High Goal Bracket. Use (4x) #10 x 1/2" sheet metal screws to attach the High Goal Bracket to the PVC Pipe as shown in Images A & B.
VEX Sack Attack Game Manual:
Step 4) Insert the High Goal into the hole on the top of the center Stanchion as shown in Image G. The orientation of the High Goal is critical, the red “tip” of the High goal should “point” toward the Red Driver’s Post, as shown in Image H. Use (4x) #10 x 1/2" sheetmetal screws, as shown in image G, to lock the High Goal into place once its orientation is correct.
Seems we didn’t assemble the field correctly
Thanks!
