<VUG2>

Different climbing. All rules and point values pertaining to Climbing apply as written, with the following modifications:

Clause A of <SC7> does not apply in VURC. Robots are not required to be contacting the Ladder at the end of the Match in order to receive points for Climbing. Robots not contacting the Ladder or foam tiles must be contacting another Robot from their Team that meets all criteria of <SC7>.

A Robot which meets all other Climbing requirements, but is not contacting the Ladder at the end of the Match, will have their Climbing points doubled. For example, when both Robots reach a standard Level 2, the Team would receive 12 points total (6 per Robot). If instead, both Robots have reached Level 2 and one of them is not contacting the Ladder, the Team should receive 18 points total (6 + 12).

In the context of rule <SG9>, a Robot which is in the process of Climbing without contacting the Ladder should be considered more “offensive” or “safe”.
