An Autonomous Win Point is awarded to any Alliance that ends the Autonomous Period with all of the following tasks completed, and that has committed no Violations during the Autonomous Period: At least seven (7) Pins Placed for your Alliance (does not include Pins scored in Quadrants on the opposing side of the Autonomous Line) At least three (3) Goals each contain at least two (2) Pins scored for your Alliance (does not include Goals in Quadrants on the opposing side of the Autonomous Line) Neither Robot is contacting the Field Perimeter
Autonomous Win Point criteria will be slightly modified for events which qualify directly to the World Championship (e.g., Event Region Championships and Signature Events) and may be further modified for the World Championship. The modified criteria for events which qualify directly to the World Championship will be released in the September 3, 2026, Game Manual update. Any Championship-qualifying events held prior to September 10, 2026, will use the standard criteria listed in this rule. The modification(s) will be minor, and will be intended to provide an increased challenge over the criteria listed above. For example, one possibility could be “At least eight (8) Pins Placed” instead of seven (7) and/or “At least four (4) Goals” instead of three (3). The standard criteria for all other events will not change.
This rule is applied differently for VEX U. See Rule <VUG6>.
