Answered: Using Alignment tools to start match

[osteocoach]

I’ve searched to rules for Skyrise and can not seem to find a rule about using an alignment tool or template or jib to set up the robot to start autonomous. Our team was questioned about it’s use. Given the exacting game this year and the inconsistences in the floating playing surface, I’ve seen a lot of other teams using reference templates. We all have immediately removed them before autonomous starts.
Great game this year. We don’t want to disobey any of the rules. Please clarify what is allowable to align the robot and then remove from the field.
Thank you

Provided that this is done in a prompt fashion, the use of alignment tools to help position Robots before a Match is legal.

Thanks,
I’ll pass that onto the team.
