Maybe some example scenarios would be appropriate -
In the "testing the levees challenge" , robot has moved only partially out of base - robot is touched when:
1) still not yet reached the challenge model (penalty ?) - No penalty.
2) challenge model has been activated , and other end of robot is sitting on the challenge model's activation bar ( penalty ?) No Penalty
3) challenge model has been activated, robot has moved off challenge model's activation bar and 'heading' back ( legal ?) No penalty
In other missions where the robot has completely left base performed a mission and is returning to base - robot is touched when:
4) robot is completely in base but still rolling ( legal ) Yes - legal
5) robot is partially in base but still rolling ( legal ) Yes - legal
6) robot is partially in base but it is bringing back a scoring object that is on a section of the robot that has not crossed over the home base line. (penalty?) No penalty but the "retrievable" is removed from the table by the ref and is out of play.
thanks
