Answered: Renamed - Sacks scored in multiple goals

[Vex1622]

What happens when a sack is balanced on the piece of plastic in between the two goals and is in the the vertical plane of both goals?

In the future, please be sure to search the manual carefully before posting questions in this forum. The Q&A usage guidelines provide some excellent tips to help make your questions more efficient for the entire community.

The answer to your question is actually right in the VEX Sack Attack Manual in the definition of Scored. I’ve quoted the pertinent section below, bolding some text for emphasis:

@VEX Sack Attack Game Manual

Scored – A Scoring Object is Scored in a Goal if it meets one of the following criteria.

1. A Scoring Object is partially within the three-dimensional space defined by the outer edges of a Trough or High Goal, projected upwards and infinitely perpendicular to the playing field.
   a. For a Scoring Object to count under this clause, it must not be touching a Robot of the same color as the Goal
   b. If a Scoring Object meets the criteria of being in both a High Goal and a Trough, it will be Scored only in the High Goal
   c. If a Scoring Object meets the criteria of being in both a red and blue High Goal OR both a red and blue Trough, it will be Scored in both.

2. A Scoring Object is touching a Floor Goal, and not touching any other foam tiles.

For a Scoring Object to count under either clause, it must remain in a Scored position, if/when all Robots were removed from the field. (By removed, we mean removing the robot and its contents from the field. Referees will be instructed to gently pull robots away from the Goal if necessary) i.e. The Scoring Object must not be supported by the Robot.

If a Sack is in multiple Goals of the same type, it counts for both Alliances.

Does this rule still apply in the programming and Robot skills because it will probably have some people make some interest contraption for doing that if it does?

Yes, the rule still applies for the Programming and Robot Skills Challenges.
