Hello, I wanted to seek clarification on T7 and whether replays are permitted for foreign objects being present in the field?
Scenario 1: Before the beginning of a match, a referee places a scoring tablet on the field whilst tying there shoelace and forgets to pick it up at the start of a match. This remains on the field for 30-40 seconds until the referee spots it and removes it from the field. No robots interacted with the tablet. Should the match be replayed? Would this be different if a robot drove over the scoring tablet / it impeded a robots movement for a second or two? In this scenario would the match score be considered at all (For instance a team losing 40-5 compared with a 20-21 scoreline)?
Scenario 2: A drive team member accidentally drops there safety glasses onto the field, they remain there for a few seconds as a robot is in the immediate area, once the robot moves away a scorekeeper referee removes them from the field.
Cheers!
