Are we allowed to get into the field while setting up the robot. We have a judge who keeps on saying we can't. We have a state competition coming up on 4/16/21 so if you can answer this before then that would be great. Thanks!

Putting the robot in the field.
Answered by Game Design Committee
There are no rules explicitly prohibiting this. However, rules <S1>, <G1>, <T1>, and <T4-a> all may apply, depending on the event and the specific context of the situation. Due to safety concerns and the potential for playing field damage, this is a common event-specific restriction that is utilized by some Head Referees and Event Partners.
