So, I am at a tournament and the refs are saying that I can not load the balls because the robot is outside of the loading zone.
1.) Is this is illegal or legal? A picture is included.
2.) Also, they are claiming that only one person is allowed to load. Is this is true?
3.) Are you also allowed to push a ball from my hand into my robot?
If you could answer this Karthik, that would be great.
- legal. You only need to be touching the loading zone.
- Any number of people can load balls into the robot
- Pretty much anything short of forcing balls into the robot is legal
Normally I don’t answer questions outside of the official Q&A for a multitude of reasons, however with the Q&A being closed I can make an exception here.
- Legal, provided the ball contacts the Robot before it contacts any portion tile outside of the Loading Zone
- Not true. Any number of legal Student Drive Team Members can load balls.
- Yes, this sounds legal.
Thank you. This has helped tremendously.
