2243: Balls In The Field After Robot Reset- Autonomous Match
What happens with the balls that are not scored but end up on the field perimeter when retrieving and resetting the robot during Autonomous Match? Can the loader retrieve and "Rapid Load" the balls as well? Thank you
Answered by committee
When a Robot is reset in an Autonomous Coding Skills Match as described in rule <RSC8>, every Ball should be collected and handed to a Loader, regardless of its current location. Balls can then be returned to the Field through the Loading Station or as Rapid Loads, with a maximum of 2 Balls "in play" at any one time.
