2806: Skills Auton Start

From SG1: "b. Not contacting any Blocks other than a maximum of one Preload." Does this mean we are allowed to use our preload to prop up the robot to score the 15 points in the Autonomous Skills period, and move one or two rollers to make the robot "move"?

Hello, Team 62345A! Thanks for your question, which is related to but slightly different than Q&A 2771.

You're correct.

If the Robot and the Preload meet all criteria of rules <SG1> and <SG5> prior to the start of the Match, there's no rule against this starting position (including in an Autonomous Coding Skills Match).

There's also no minimum amount of "movement" defined in clause E of rule <RSC2>.
