At an event, the EP announced that teams had to do both driver and programmer skills run to be considered for Robot Skills award. My understanding is that not participating in either results in a 0 score for the team and that would be added to the highest score in the skills run they did participate in. It was made clear that the team had to queue up for the skills run they would not score in for them to have the 0 score taken into account when computing the combined robot skills score, if they did not they would not have a combined score eligible for the Robot Skills award.
