Official Q&A: VEX IQ Robotics Competition 2024-2025: Rapid Relay
2475: Clarification for Q&A 2232
Is the answer to Q&A 2232 from October 28, 2024 still accurate? I am confused about whether this is correct:
"When a Robot is reset under rule <RSC8> in an Autonomous Coding Skills Match, all Balls should be removed from the Robot and the Field. Balls can then be reintroduced through the Loading Station or as Rapid Loads.
If a Ball is stuck in a Switch at the time of a Robot reset in an Autonomous Coding Skills Match, it should be removed from the Field by a referee or Drive Team Member when the Robot is reset. If a Switch is held in a Cleared position (no longer parallel with the front face of the Goal Wall) by the Ball that will be removed, that Switch should be manually moved into a "fully" Cleared position during the reset. The Ball that was stuck in the Switch should not be counted as a Goal."
This is the only place that I have seen the option to remove a ball that is stuck in a Switch vs being stuck in the Goal Wall. <SG6> seems to contradict this ability to remove the ball.
Does this only apply during Autonomous? And is the intent to not just retrieve the ball but also result in a cleared switch?
Does this only apply during Autonomous?
Yes. This only applies in Autonomous Coding Skills Matches.
And is the intent to not just retrieve the ball but also result in a cleared switch?
Yes, but this only applies in Autonomous Coding Skills Matches.
