2554: Handling Robots during an Autonomous Coding Skills Match.
Handling Robots during an Autonomous Coding Skills Match. per the rulebook "A Team may handle their Robot as many times as desired during an Autonomous Coding Skills Match. Upon handling the Robot, it must be immediately brought back to Starting Zone 2. Drive Team Members may reset or adjust the Robot as desired from this position, including pressing buttons on the Robot Brain or activating sensors." Does readjusting the robot include extending out the extenders on the robot that may have been disrupted during an earlier run of the robot. Intent behind the question - the team intends to pick up the robot and reset the robot in another place within the starting zone, and will again extend the extenders on the robot to be in contact with the perimeter wall . <RSC8>
