1542: Transitive contact affecting elevation status

Matthew Maylin
13-Jun-2023

Figure 9 states that in the situation shown, neither robot will be considered elevated.

However, red robot 1 fulfills all criteria of being elevated.

  1. By contacting the alliance elevation bar (point a).
  2. Not contacting any other field elements
  3. Not contacting the elevation cap

Does transitive contact through an alliance partner robot affect whether a robot is considered elevated?

Thank you for your question! An upcoming game manual update will expand the definition of Elevated to specify that contact with a non-Elevated Alliance partner Robot negates a Robot's Elevated status.
