2591: Resetting
<G10> Hello REC!
From the rule G10, it tells us rule about resetting the robot in matches, there are some question that I want to ask if it is legal (Teamwork matches):
- Robot is stuck in the field, and it is too big which need 2 person to reset the robot, can the two driver place their controller on ground and go reset the robot? 2.Can the driver that is not controlling/driving go reset the robot?
- Can the student reset the robot without asking the referee?
- Can the student reset the robot by place or push the robot to the starting zone while didn't affect the balls and your alliance? ( I want to ask can we reset while the bot didn't leave the field)
- Is there a number of limit of resetting in a game match?
Thank you! 5491M
- Robot is stuck in the field, and it is too big which need 2 person to reset the robot, can the two driver place their controller on ground and go reset the robot?
Yes, but as described in rules <S1> & <G10>, Students are not permitted to step into the Field at any time during a Match, including while resetting the Robot.
- Can the student reset the robot without asking the referee?
No. Signalling the referee is the first step in a legal Robot reset, as listed in rule <G10>.
- Can the student reset the robot by place or push the robot to the starting zone while didn't affect the balls and your alliance? ( I want to ask can we reset while the bot didn't leave the field)
There is no requirement that the Robot be removed from the Field during a <G10> reset.
- Is there a number of limit of resetting in a game match?
No, but Teams are not allowed to use rule <G10> as a strategy. Resetting a Robot that is not stuck, tipped over, damaged, or otherwise inoperable should result in a Major Violation and Disqualification for the Match if the Robot participates in game play after the reset.
