Michael,
I'm getting old and don;t see as well as I used to
but... They appear to me that they are connected in some way and based on the
third bullet of Rule 13, they cannot be connected. So, based on the rule,
it would seem to me, that you could put them on your robot but not attach them
to your robot, if that makes sense. There are various ways you could
accomplish "on the robot" without attaching "to the robot".
Of course, I'm not a ref and I don't play one on tv
so, obviouxly, what I say is not official. You might also ask FLL for
clarification as to what the picture is showing and/or ask the same question in
the forums.
Thanks,
Lloyd O'Hara

PICS
Remember, knowledge of the Rules is just as
important as knowledge of the missions… For this mission, IN is
required, and TOUCHING is not. But the NO SCORE status of Pictures 3 and
4 is not about the Mission criteria. They fail because of the third
bullet of Rule 13. (By the way, please IGNORE the last picture under
Professional Teamwork!)
I need someone to explain to me why picture three is a
no score. it meets the requirement of "in' but fail from bullet three
from rule 13 which is...
You are limited as to how you may connect anything to a mission model.
Gently flipping and/or shaking
one (the heavier if the two are different) must allow gravity to
completely separate them. The ref does not
allow a start with an illegal connection. See Rule 20.
So picture three fails because the "cells" are on their sides???
If that is so, if the doctor and the tech are face down but in do they
also fail?
Does that mean I can not attach the cells, the doctor, tech to my robot
and drive my robot so that they are 'in" but are still attached to the
robot?
