SG1> Starting a Match. Prior to the start of each Match, the Robot must be placed such that it is:
- Touching one of its colored Alliance Starting Tiles.
- Not touching any other foam field tiles or Game Objects that are not Preloads.
- Preloaded with one (1) Ball.
To be clear, we park in our Alliance starting tile with our wheels completely touching the Alliance Tile and part of our robot that is not touching the tile can be outside of the Alliance tile. I'm happy to share a picture of an example if needed.
Autonomous Line definition – The pair of white tape lines that run across the center of the field, underneath the Platforms. Per <SG3>, Robots may not contact the foam field tiles on the opposite Alliance’s side of the Autonomous Line during the Autonomous Period <SG3> Stay on your side in Autonomous. During the Autonomous Period, Robots may not do any of the following:
- Contact the foam tiles on the opposing Alliance’s side of the Autonomous Line.
- Contact the opposing Alliance Platform.
- Become Center Parked.
Can we cross the Autonomous line with part of our robot that isn't phyisically touching the foam tile?
Thank you
