Hey my team was working on an autonomous program but we looked and couldn’t identify the actual starting zone. The game manual doesn’t say nor does the video. So can you just start anywhere?
The robot must start along the perimeter wall
You may start anywhere as long as you meet certain conditions.
SG1 Starting a Match. Prior to the start of each Match, the Robot must be placed such that it is:
a. Contacting the field perimeter wall on the side that coincides with their Alliance’s Goal Zone and Alliance Station.
b. Contacting a foam field tile.
c. Not contacting a Tower.
d. Not contacting any Cubes other than the Preload.
e. Contacting a Preload.
f. Not contacting a Goal Zone or a Barrier.
g. Not contacting another Robot.
The game manual says it on page 20. https://content.vexrobotics.com/docs/vrc-tower-takeover/GameManual-20190816.pdf

Solution is in previous post - this thread should be closed as no further clarification needed than the Game Manual.
