This is an incorrect understanding of Rule 48.

Rule 48 has 3 conditions:

1) using eyes as a scanner

and

2) if a robot touch is timed to occur in a (small) strategically precise time period

and

3) if touching in the time window causes a scoring condition to occur and/or not be destroyed

then --if all three are true-- plus, they are obviously true to the referee, then that mission is marked scoreless.

In the discussion of the Search Engine, there's no strategically precise time window, nor a robot touch necessarily involved, so Rule 48 is not relevant.

Thanks. Rule 48 says that if you use your eyes as a scanner, the mission becomes unscorable.
Yes, using a sensor is going to be difficult, but since this part of the mission is worth 45 points, I am leaning towards having to use a sensor.
Thoughts?

To add to your first question, also read Rule 44:

"44 - Cargo Penalty - Any time you touch the robot, no matter where it is, if it has cargo OUTSIDE BASE
it didn’t have during the most recent start, the referee takes that cargo out of play."

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?
