2971: Skills Replay

Andrew Dahlen (Event Partner)

Looking for calarification on GG5. In a Skills Attempts when a suspected Field control disconnect has "Disabled Robots" - there are no other robots to check for movement per GG5. When a robot disconnects or pauses during a skills run unexpectedly, should the team be given a replay attempt? Thanks

In a Match with a single Robot, it's more difficult to categorize issues as field-based or Robot-based. Event Partners and Head Referees should consider information from the Field Brain and Robot Brain alongside other information from the event when determining whether or not a replay might be warranted. Other considerations include, but are not limited to:

  • Has the Robot had similar issues in previous Matches?
  • Have there been similar issues with other Robots on this Field or other Fields?
  • Is the Robot's radio surrounded by metal?
  • Is there visible damage to the Field cable and/or connector?

Ultimately, the EP and Head Referee must make a judgment call based on all of this information. That judgment call should then guide similar rulings throughout the event.
