1866: Knocking red blocks


41435A
11-Jan-2024

If a robot that is unable to pick up red blocks (e.g. clawbot) knocks a red block off a peg, does the team still get the 5 points with the block not being in a goal?

POST SCRIPT: not sure what rule is applicable, so will just pick random.

Per the scoring table located before rule <SC1>:

Each Red Block Removed from Starting Peg - 5 Points

The definition of Removed reads as follows:

Removed – A red Block status. A red Block is considered Removed if it is no longer fully supported by a Starting Peg at the end of the Match.

Yes, all Removed red Blocks receive 5 points, whether they are Scored in a Goal or not.
