Hi,
Between two robot runs, does the robot need to be completely inside the base before the players can pick it up for re-positioning?

Also, picking up the correct loop from search engine needs to be accomplished with a sensor, right? I.e the players cannot use their eyes to determine the color and then accordingly kick off the required program.

Thanks

Yes, it absolutely could.

Couldn't a basket / box actually be the Apprenticeship Model?

Thanks,

Yes, note rule update 30: it has to touch the inside (area) of the circle.

If you want to have a basket, I think you need to make the basket (or rather, whatever the robot needs to lift the model) part of the Apprenticeship model.  

While the Apprenticeship model isn't subject to a junk penalty (rule update 7), a basket used for carrying the model is a strategic object (rule 14), and as such, subject to a junk penalty (rule 32) if left outside base when the match ends.

Our team may want to build a basket to carry "Apprenticeship" model from Base and leave them both in the destination area. I think this is fine as long as "a portion" of the model (still in the basket) visibly touches the circular area on the mat directly. Does that sound accurate? Can someone please confirm?

Thank you!
