Exactly as the title says, are you allowed to score in there without DQing yourself from autos?
Yes. Mainly just don’t touch the tiles or push balls to the other side that would affect there auton
And you wouldn’t get dqed if you went to the other side or messed up their auton. They would just automatically win auton
Any question that asks “are you allowed” or “is it legal” should be answered by consulting the game manual . In this case the relevant rule is <SG2>:
<SG2> Stay on your side in Autonomous. During the Autonomous Period, Robots may not contact the foam tiles or Balls which are on the opposing Alliance’s side of the Autonomous Line. Robots may not contact the Goals that are in the opposing Alliance’s Home Zone.
Violations of this rule will result in the Autonomous Bonus being awarded to the opposing Alliance. Intentional, strategic, or egregious violations, such as intentional contact with an opposing Robot while completely across the Autonomous Line, will result in a Disqualification.
Note: The three (3) Goals contacting the Autonomous Line are not considered to be on either side, and may be utilized by either Alliance during the Autonomous Period . If attempting to utilize these Goals, Teams should be cognizant of the possibility that opponent Robots may attempt to do the same. <SG7>, <G10>, <G11>, and <G12> will be taken into account when these types of Robot interactions occur.
(emphasis mine)
…unless you violate the rule in an “intentional, strategic, or egregious” manner per <SG2>, which would result in a DQ.
