An Autonomous Win Point is awarded to any Alliance that ends the Autonomous Period with the following tasks completed, and that has not broken any rules during the Autonomous Period: At least three (3) Scored Rings of the Alliance’s color A minimum of two (2) Stakes on the Alliance’s side of the Autonomous Line with at least (1) Ring of the Alliance’s color Scored Neither Robot contacting / breaking the plane of the Starting Line At least one (1) Robot contacting the Ladder This criteria will be slightly modified for events which qualify directly to the World Championship (e.g., Event Region Championships and Signature Events). The modified criteria will be released in the September 3, 2024, Game Manual update. Any Championship-qualifying events held prior to this update will use the standard criteria listed in this rule. The modification(s) will be minor, and will be intended to provide an increased challenge over the criteria listed above. For example, one possibility could be “four Scored Rings on any Stake” instead of three. The standard criteria for all other events will not change.
