Standard rules apply in most cases. All rules from previous sections apply to Robot Skills Matches, unless otherwise specified in this section.
• Removing Blocks from the Field in a Robot Skills Match is not a Violation. Blocks that leave the Field cannot be returned. Violation Note:
• In the Robot Skills Challenge, the standard definition of Match Affecting does not apply, because there is no winner or loser. When evaluating whether a rule Violation should be classified as a Major Violation or Minor Violation in the context of this criteria, the term “score affecting” can be substituted for “Match Affecting.” A Violation is considered “score affecting” if it results in a net increase of that Team’s score at the end of the Match.
• Violations of <GG>, <SG>, and <RSC> rules that occur during a Robot Skills Match should only affect the outcome of that Match and should not be considered when determining whether a Violation has been repeated during the event.
