A Team’s two Drivers switch Controllers midway through the Match. In a given Match, up to two (2) Drivers may be in the Driver Station per Team. The two Drivers must switch their controller between thirty-five seconds (0:35 on the Match timer) and twenty-five seconds (0:25 on the Match timer) remaining in the Match.• No Driver shall operate a Robot for more than thirty-five (35) seconds.
• The second Driver may not touch their Team’s controls until the controller is passed to them.
• Once the controller is passed, the first Driver may no longer touch their Team’s controls.
• Drivers may also serve as Loaders under certain conditions during a Match: For drive teams consisting of two or three members, any Drive Team Member who is not actively operating the Robot may serve as a Loader. For drive teams consisting of only one member, the Driver may simultaneously operate the Robot and serve as the Loader for the first thirty-five (35) seconds of the Match, at which point the Robot’s operation (even prewritten commands) must cease for the remainder of the Match. Violation Notes: At a minimum, any Violation of this rule is considered a Minor Violation. Whether it escalates to a Major Violation or not is dependent upon the Head Referee’s judgment regarding prior Violations and any Score Affecting actions that were a direct result of the Violation, such as the first Driver scoring additional points after 35 seconds of driving.
