I wonder what are some fun loopholes you all have? For example, how much of the robot strictly has to be in the parking space.

this makes me wonder if cling on one of the towers would be valid as I do not believe they are considered tiles?

You have to be crossing the plane of the zone.

Nice try GDC!
Seriously though, not exactly a loophole but the size is technically meant to be 22” x 22” but it’s more like 15.5” c 15.5”…

GG9 states that Robots can not hook or grab onto ANY Field Elements.
Oooo I wonder if that could work?
Do you think we could steal all the balls like a monopoly type thing via the unlimited possession rule? I don’t think this abuses the rule.
It’s not against the rules but gonna be very hard to get all ur opponents balls, especially because a lot of them start on ur opponents side of the auton line and match loads exist.
in the how we want the game played section of the manual, the GDC touches on potential hoarding, and threaten to lower the possession limit if hoarding becomes an issue.

As an alliance, you don’t have to have control of all your opponents’ blocks. Just enough to make sure they can’t outscore you.
I was thinking something like that? I didn’t see any extension rules sooooo
- It’s allowed?
- We can’t have any extensions?
Am I just blind and can’t see anything?
Check out SG2 and SG3.

In the game manual it said expansion is limited in horizontal and vertical directions but the game video it said expansion is unlimited
Does anyone know if there or isn’t an expansion limit
The manual and Q&A are the only rules. Believe what you read there.

No it didn’t, it did not mention expansion at all.

Idk the game vid had no expansion limit but the worlds reveal said there was so ig there is?
The most current version of the game manual takes precedent over everything, and can be found below.
There are expansion limits in the game manual

Imagine if someone got kicked out of the robotics tournament for violating G3, use common sense???
The rulebooks say a robot can’t hover for a whole match, but what if you compressed so much air in the pneumatics (somehow) and had the lightest bot ever and it flew anyways??? And you got kicked out for violating G3???

No hovering isn’t really a rule so much as an example to stop people from cluttering the Q&A with ridiculous questions that never have their rulings applied in real life. I highly doubt that anyone would enforce it if you ever managed to build a hovering robot.
