Human Ring Placement

VEX Robotics Competition Discussion
#1

In tipping point, I know that human players can place rings on the field. I need to know a couple things about it though.

  1. Where can the rings be placed?
  2. How many rings are available to place?
  3. Do you have to win autonomous to be able to place rings?
#2

The answers to all 3 of your questions can be found in the Game Manual.

In particular, take a look at rules SG1 and SG8, and the description of the game objects on page 4.

Prove me wrong…

  1. Rings can only be placed under the Balanced Platform with your feet

  2. It’s total pay-to-win. You have to pay the referee $10 for each Ring you plan to use before each match

  3. You may only place Rings on the field while singing:

    We’re no strangers to Tipping Point
    You know the rules, and so do I
    A full commitment’s what I’m thinking of
    You wouldn’t get this without reading SG1-8

    Never gonna give you up
    Never gonna put the Ring down
    Never gonna run around and pin you
    Never gonna tell a lie and tip you
