Is it legal to switch driver during match?

We saw our opponent driver switched controller to another member in the mid match. I guess it is because the first driver had a hard time to play, so he gave the controller to his member. I know it is required during IQ in our last season but I am not sure if it is legal in Over Under?

Any question asking about the legality of something must be answered by looking in the game manual.

As you read the game manual, keep in mind that the game manual tells you things that you must do, and things that you are prohibited from doing. It can’t tell you everything you might do, so if the game manual does not prohibit an action, then it is generally legal.

Assuming you have read the game manual, what rule makes you think that [blank] might not be legal?

“Driver Controlled Period – A time period during which Drive Team Members operate their Robot via remote control.” -Game Manual 2.1

Drive team members is plural and drive team members are anyone on your team in the driver zone.
So it would seem you can switch.

Switching is an important feature of IQ so I’m guessing they would have a specific rule for people coming from QI that you can’t do it anymore.

Hope this help :slight_smile:
