1591: The position of triballs in Match Load Zone

14316A
18-Jul-2023

<SG1>Note: The Triballs which start in each Match Load Zone must be contacting the Match Load Zone at the start of the Match. However, they may be repositioned during pre-Match setup by the Team whose Robot is using the Starting Tiles adjacent to that Match Load Zone. For example, in Figure 26, Red Robot 1 would be permitted to reposition the Triball in the lower-left red Match Load Zone.

Is it legal to place the triball which starts in the Match Load Zone as in the photo?img

SG1  
Answered by committee

The Match Load Zone is defined as "The portion of the floor tile bordered by a Match Load Bar and an inside corner of the Field Perimeter." The example you provided--and any other position that meets the requirement of the note in <SG1> (contacting the Match Load Zone)--is legal for a Triball that begins the Match within a Match Load Zone.
