    Default Trailers for no-show robots

    If no members of a team report for a Match, is that team's trailer left on the field?

    Question Trailers for no-show robots

    Does the trailer for a no-show robot still stay on the field at the LAUNCH PADS?

    Default No - Show Robots?

    If one (or more) alliance member does not make it to the match, is the trailer still placed on the playing field? Is there any modification to it, or will it sit "tongue down" at one of the starting locations. Can it be moved by the other robots in the match?

    Default Trailers for a No-Show

    If a team is a no-show for a match, does their team's trailer, which is defined as part of the arena, start the match unhitched in the corresponding robot's launch pad?

    Default Broken Robots

    If you have an alliance member that cannot field their robot during a qualifying round, what will FIRST do with the third trailer?

    Leaving it out of the game would be an obvious advantage to the alliance with two robots. On the other hand, placing it somewhere on the field would be a serious advantage to the opposing alliance.

    Thank you in advance.

    Default No Shows

    What is FIRST's policy on the trailer for "no shows" (either no team members show up or just no robot) during the qualification and the elimination rounds during competition? Will the "no show" trailers be removed from play or just sit in the starting area? Will it be handled differently during elimination rounds than in qualifying rounds? It doesn't seem fair to punish an allaince by leaving a trailer unprotected when a no show happens but it could also be an unfair advantage by decreasing the maximium points the oppossing alliance could score. Thanks in advance for a clarification.

    Default Robot No-Show - What Happens ot Trailer?

    What happens to the trailer if a team does not show up for a match?

    If left on the field, will any provision be made to protect the field and/or robots from the exposed trailer hitch and pin?

    Default Missing Robot

    Forgive me if this has been covered - I've searched but have been unable to find anything regarding this:

    If one of the teams on an alliance is unable to field a robot for a match, what will be done with the trailer for that team? Will it be left on the field for the match? Will there be a support under the tongue so that it can be pushed by other robots? Thanks.

    Default Re: Trailers for no-show robots

    If a team fails to send a Robot to the Arena for a match, the Trailer is still placed in the Crater on the Launching Pad, but the tongue will be supported by a placebo hitch.

    Robots may interact with the Trailer throughout the match, as deemed appropriate by the game rules.
