Rule 19 says:After passing Inspection, arrange your Equipment anywhere in Home for storage and adjustments, and/or the Launch Area for Launch.Steve ScherrVirginia-DC FLL Referee Advisor---- On Tue, 29 Oct 2019 07:14:32 -0400 Rajesh Shah<[log in to unmask]> wrote ----Thanks for clarification.I have one more question - after the inspection is done that all the equipment fits in small inspection area in home.- can the team use the whole home area to store the equipment to reduce crowding near the launch area?RajeshShahSent from my iPhoneOn Oct 28, 2019, at 11:22 PM, VA-DC FLL Referee Advisor <[log in to unmask]> wrote:Rajesh's team has an alignment jig that they keep completely in Home when they Launch their Robot. This is okay.Rajesh's team has lined up their jig so that it barely touches the boundary line between the Launch Area and Home. This is okay.BUT...if the Robot runs into this jig and the team Technicians are touching/holding the jig, then that is an Interruption, and they must re-Launch the Robot. They might lose a Precision Token, too.If they have measured to the millimeter the width of Home so that this jig exactly fits between the west wall of the Field and the edge of Home, then that is risky. Although we hope that all tables are built the same and that all mats fit on the tables the same, experience has shown that this is not the case. The dimensions of Home given in update RG01 are approximate, and may vary slightly among competition Fields. It is a great design goal to have a Robot that can adapt to small inconsistencies.Steve ScherrVirginia-DC FLL Referee AdvisorOn Mon, Oct 28, 2019 at 10:52 PM Rajesh Shah <[log in to unmask]> wrote:Some more description to my question Below: Wall is exactly at the end of Home Area barely touching the black line of Launch Area.

They are using this wall to align the robot during launch. I am assuming this is ok as long as the jig is completely in the home area based on the recent robot game updates "RG21 Allowable Jig Use".
