3242: <SG12> Question About Scoring in Midfield during Skills

18-Sep-2026
RSC1 SG12

According to <SG12>, robots cannot score in the midfield in the last 20 seconds. In <RSC1>, it states "All rules from previous sections apply to Robot Skills Matches, unless otherwise specified in this section." Does this also mean that you cannot score in the midfield during the last 20 seconds of a skills run?

Vastaus committee

<SG12> states that "Robots may not Place Scoring Objects on the Midfield Goal during the Endgame period."

The Endgame period is defined as follows:

Endgame - A time period consisting of the last 10 seconds of a Head-to-Head Match, in which Robots attempt to end the Match in the Midfield. See rule <SG12>.

There is no Endgame period in a Robot Skills Match, so <SG12> does not apply to Robot Skills Matches.
