W = Verbal warning; F = Foul (5); X = Technical Foul (25); C = Affected robots count as climbed; D = E-stop disable; Y = Yellow card; R = Red card. When multiple consequences are listed, the first violation has the first consequence, the third violation has the second, and egregious violations have the right-most consequence (which may be the second); except as noted by footnote 5.
Starting configuration: on carpet; in contact with alliance wall but outside exchange zone; all parts of robot within frame perimeter; bumpers in compliance with bumper rules; entirely supporting up to one power cube. Allowed zones for launching cubes: bumpers inside null territory, to place power cube on that scale plate; bumpers touching fence or robot crossing fence, to place cube on that switch plate; bumpers inside its own exchange zone, to place cube in that exchange tunnel. | |||
