Orientation of Stars on Field

[sharil_maredia]

In reference to <G14>, it is stated that field objects can be off by an inch from its “assigned” position. As an extension to the rule, does the orientation of stars also apply in this rule? In other words, can the stars on the field be turned any which way, or do the points have to be facing certain directions? A response would be helpful! Thanks!

They are supposed to be facing the direction as described in the manual/field appendix

Appendix A Field Specifications states this (the part applying is in bold):

The Stars and Cubes are placed as follows before the start of each match.

1. There are (2X) Stars for Preload in each Alliance Station
2. There is (1X) Cube as a Driver Control Load in each Alliance Station
3. There are (3X) Stars centered on each half of the field between Alliance Starting Tiles.
4. There is (1X) Star centered on each corner Field Tile.
5. There is (1X) Cube on each half of the field diagonally centered on the Far Zone tape line.
6. There are (3X) Stars equally spaced on both outside sections of the Fence.
7. There are (4X) Stars equally spaced on the middle section of the Fence.
   Note: 3. and 4. Stars should be placed on the
   field such that three points of each Star
   are contacting the Field Tiles. Two contacting
   points should be closest to the Fence and
   the third contacting point should be facing away.
