In the past, where the blue hits the white on the outside edge of that thick line is the end of the home- we're working on the assumption it's the same this year. Our team brings a piece of paper and arcs it to the curve when we have attachments that are close. 2. Per the rulebook on page 9, the art piece may only be touching the pedestal and the pedestal can't touch any team equipment other than the artwork at the end of the match to score the points- but an audience member is provided, so not considered team equipment. Therefore, you should be good if an audience member touches/is attached to the pedestal but the minifig should not be touching the art. 3. I was jumping on to ask a question similar to this! What is the boundary for the venues/ "target destinations"? My team thought it was just the shape originally, but it appears that points are counted based on the photos even when outside the beige outline on page 14 of the rulebook and the photo above has red squares to show they areas that expand outside of the themed shapes so now they're confused. Can a ref weigh in on this one, please?

As always, this listserv has been an invaluable resource this season. Thank you! Our trio of teams from RMA Robotics has a few questions. My apologies if these have already been answered elsewhere... 1. There is a thick blue line that outlines both home spaces delineating its perimeter. If the bot or its attachment is within this blue line, does that count as inside home? Or once you hit the blue line, is that out? 2. Can the audience members be on top of the Masterpiece artwork that is on the pedestal? Note, the would not be attached, just balanced. 3. If an audience member is just a couple millimeters outside of the delivery zone, would they be counted out? For example, the tippity top of their head is out? In other words, how stringent is the definition of "out" as our team seemed to think it 95% of the minifig was inside, it should be counted as in. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE or CHANGE your settings, please visit https://listserv.jmu.edu/archives/vadcfll-l.html and select "Join or leave the list". -- VADCFLL administrative announcements are sent via VADCFLL-ANNOUNCEMENTS-L.
