1068: LRT - Autonomous Questions

3723A
17-Feb-2022

Dear RobotEvents,

As we near our LRT Nationals Competition in South Korea, we would like to request for some clarification on the autonomous period of the matches.

  1. Although the rings in goal bases count for zero points during LRT matches, do they count to gain an Autonomous Win Point as noted in the Game Manual?

Changelong Version 2.0 - August 31, 2021 "Updated Scoring Table 3 to clarify that Rings can be scored on or in Mobile Goals to receive credit for the Autonomous Win Point"

  1. Since we are able to "enter the opponent's Alliance Home Zone" during the Autonomous Period and "All Mobile Goals and Platforms may be considered neutral (Alliance Mobile Goals may be scored in any Zone)" in LRT, does it count to gain an Autonomous Win Point if a mobile goal is in the neutral zone with a ring in it?

Thank you in advance for your clarification. Looking forward to your reply soon.

Warmly, Michelle

No. The standard definition of Cleared should still be used in LRT.
