Answered: VexU driver and programming skills Skyrise clarification

[NimbusII]

Hi Karthik,

We’re excited about the release of the college rules, and want to get started with designing our skills robots as soon as possible. We have a question regarding the VexU skills rules:

@Appendix E VexU rules

All rules from Appendix B – Robot Skills Challenge and Appendix C – Programming Skills
Challenge apply, with the following changes:

Skills Challenge Rule Modifications:

1. Teams will compete with both of their Robots at the same time, with each robot starting in a legal starting
   position, both on Alliance Starting Tiles of the same color and all rules applying to both Robots.
2. Robot Skills Matches will be sixty (60) seconds long.
3. Programming Skills Matches will be sixty (60) seconds long.
4. Teams may not touch their Robots during the Programming Skills Matches.
   **5. Teams will be given fourteen (14) Skyrise Sections to use during each Robot and Programming Skills
   Match. **

@Appendix B robot skills

A Robot may only Build Skyrise Sections on the Skyrise Base adjacent to the Alliance Starting Tiles
that the Robot started the Robot Skills Match on.

Does apply in VexU skills challenges? That is, do VexU teams build two skyrises (one on each skyrise base) or one extremely tall skyrise?

Thanks,
Abigail

VEX U teams have access to both Skyrise Bases.
