If a drone identifies a green color mat, then lands mostly in the square but partially on the blue arch gate tension wire (not touching the programming mat outside of the square), does it score points for landing? (Yes, this has actually happened to us) From <AM8>: A drone is considered to be landed in the square if:
- The drone is contacting the area of the programming mat inside the white square. The white line is considered part of the square. In our scenario, the drone is touching the inside of the square.
- The drone is not touching the programming mat beyond the white lines of the square. In our scenario, the drone isn’t touching the programming mat outside of the square. It’s over the mat outside of the square, but it’s not touching that area because it’s being supported by the tension wire.
- The drone is upright. In our scenario, the drone is perhaps 15 degrees off vertical. Does this qualify as “upright?”
- The drone has landed before the match timer reaches zero. In our scenario, there was plenty of time to spare.
