679: RSC1 Skills Start - Home Zone Straddling?
RULE Appendix B pg iii RSC 1 Robots may start the Robot Skills Match per SG 1 in either Home Zone with the Drive Team Members standing in the Alliance Station that corresponds with that Home Zone
DEFINITION Appendix A pg 8 Home Zone - One of two (2) areas, one (1) for each Alliance, where Robots start the match and defines the location of the Alliance Home Row. The Home Zones are defined by the inner edges of the field perimeter and the outer edge of the tape line that runs across the field adjacent to the Alliance Stations, i.e. the tape line is part of the Home Zone. The Alliance Home Zone is closest to their Alliance Stations The Home Zone refers to the foam field tiles; it is not a 3-dimensional volume
Question - confirm assumptions below
= assumption 1 - robot may not be contacting the gray foam field tiles outside of the Alliances Home Zone?
= assumption 2 - robot may not be contacting the gray foam field tiles on other side of 2nd white line in an adjacent area of Alliances Home Zone?
= assumption 3 - maybe same question, robot may not be contacting the gray foam field tiles, essentially straddling both areas in home zone, even if the robot is not not contacting the gray foam field tiles outside of the Alliances Home Zone?
