Official Q&A: VEX IQ Robotics Competition 2025-2026: Mix & Match

<GG4> The Note for <GG4> states, "Any concerns regarding Field Element or Scoring Object starting positions should be raised with the Head Referee prior to the Match. Team members may never adjust Scoring Objects or Field Elements themselves."

Invariably, the placement of the Scoring Objects (Pins) on the Floor Goal will differ from event to event / match to match. These differences could affect a Team's game play especially during Autonomous Skill matches. (1) Is there a more definitive description of where the two (2) red pins and two (2) blue pins should be placed on the Floor Goal other than the picture shown in <RSC3>? (2) Are Drive Team Members allowed to request Scoring Objects be moved, within reasonable limits, to accommodate their practice field set ups and, if so, how much movement would be considered seasonable? Rule <T5>Be prepared for minor field variance states, in part, "Field Element tolerances may vary from nominal by up to +/- 0.5" [12.7mm], unless otherwise specified." Scoring Objects (Pins/Beams} are not included in the definition of a Field Element.
