1142: <SC6> <SG8> violation effect on Autonomous Winpoint


JANK
29-Jun-2022

In tipping point crossing of the autonomous line resulted in the autonomous bonus AND the autonomous win point being awarded to the opponent. In Spin up the wording of the rule omits this only mentioning the autonomous bonus. <SC6> ...An Autonomous Win Point is awarded to any Alliance that Owns two (2) Rollers, and has Scored at least two (2) Discs in their Alliance-colored High Goal at the end of the Autonomous Period

<SG8> Dont cross the Autonomous Line All Violations of this rule (Major or Minor) will result in the Autonomous Bonus being awarded to the opposing Alliance.

My questions are

  1. Will crossing of the line unintentionally or incidentally due to robot on robot interactions result in any change on the opponents winpoint. The previous season this held true but is ommitted this season.

  2. Will crossing of the line unintentionally or incidentally due to robot on robot interactions result in loss of the autonomous win point bonus for the alliance responsible for the violation e.g blue alliance scores both rollers, two discs and then crosses the line afterwards resulting in a loss of auton bonus.

  3. Will crossing of the line unintentionally or incidentally due to robot on robot interactions which is then followed by completion of the win point task by the offending team in question while still in an offending position be considered an egregious violation and result in a disqualification, be scored or be ignored.

  4. Will crossing of the line unintentionally or incidentally due to robot on robot interactions which is then followed by completion of the win point task by the offending team in question while no longer in an offending position (back on their side of the field) be considered an egregious violation and result in a disqualification, be scored or be ignored.

  5. Will crossing of the line unintentionally or incidentally due to robot on robot interactions which is then followed by completion of the win point task by the offending team's alliance while the offending robot is in either an offending position or non-offending position be considered an egregious violation and result in a disqualification, be scored or be ignored.

  6. Will crossing of the line unintentionally or incidentally due to robot on robot interactions which is then followed by completion of the win point task by the offending team's alliance while the offending robot is now in a non-offending position be considered an egregious violation and result in a disqualification, be scored or be ignored.

Answered by committee

The Autonomous Win Point task has no relevance to the Autonomous Bonus, G11, and/or SG8. Rules G11 and SG8 refer to Robot actions, and would be handled the same regardless of whether the AWP was achieved or not, by either Alliance.

With this clarification in mind, we are having a difficult time interpreting how to respond to your specific hypothetical scenarios. If any of them are still applicable, please try to rephrase and re-submit. We would recommend developing a single scenario that represents your root question, using "red" and "blue" labels, and/or breaking it into multiple sentences.
