Official Q&A: VEX V5 Robotics Competition 2025-2026: Push Back

<SG10>

Hello GDC,

Within Q&A 2826, it is given a scenario where Robot[A] and Robot[B] are in a “standstill”, with both robots attempting to descore. In this case both robots are given an <SG10> violation as both would be considered “Goalkeeping”. Another scenario is given where Robot[A] is not inside the goal while Robot[B] is, and Robot[B] is given the violation.

Our question is if Robot[A] is scoring and Robot[B] is concurrently “descoring” that same goal (blocks are considered moving in all scenarios) would Robot[A] and/or/neither Robot[B] be given an <SG10> violation in the following:

• Scenario A: Robot[A] is unable to score due to blocks being pushed toward it from the long goal by Robot[B], not allowing Robot[A] to remove the blocks from its systems into the goal
• Scenario B: Robot[A] is able to output the blocks from its systems but the blocks being scored fall out of Robot[A] onto the floor due to the force applied from Robot[B]
• Scenario C: Robot[A] is able to output the blocks from its systems and some blocks are able to make it inside the goal, but the extra blocks being scored fall out of Robot[A] onto the floor due to the force applied from Robot[B]
• Scenario D: Robot[A] is able to score blocks, yet the blocks are instantly removed from the goal due to the descoring of robot[B]

Thank you for your time.
