Are we allowed to have a test shot before a robot skills run? A fast answer would be appreciated because we are in a tournament right now and they aren’t allowing us to do a test shot before our robot skills run
thanks!

Here’s the answer if you don’t have the time to click that link.
“Provided the field personnel and head referee think there is enough time, this is acceptable. However, in most situations there will not be time for this. Extra time should never be granted for these types of test shots.”
Thus, this may be granted provided there is time, but it’s up to the field personnel.
