Answered: Robots in Climbing Zone Clarification

[cokimoto]

Is it legal for a team to roll into the opponents starting tile after the match ends. For example, when the match ends and a team’s robot coasts, due to momentum, into the climbing zone of the opponents tile. The rules state that the match ends when all scoring objects come to rest, but how does this affect robots movement?

No, this is not legal. This would be a violation of <SG11>.

@VEX Robotics Competition Nothing But Net Game Manual

<SG11> Robots may not be in the opposing Alliance’s Climbing Zone during the last thirty seconds (0:30) of the Match. Furthermore, during the period, Robots may not contact an opposing Robot that is contacting a partner Robot that is fully within the volume of the Climbing Zone.

Minor violations of this rule that do not affect the match will result in a warning. Egregious (match affecting) offenses will result in a Disqualification. Teams that receive multiple warnings may also receive a Disqualification at the head referee’s discretion.

Coasting into the the Climbing Zone after the Match is over would be considered a violation of <SG11>.
