Thread: Actions after power is cut

    Default Actions after power is cut

    We understand that the field is scored when it comes to rest and a question arised from that.

    We were wondering: Would be allowable to have a mechanical action start right before the power is cut to continue lifting another robot after there is no power?

    This could be done either though a counterweight system, air bag system, or an airpowered jack.

    Also, if this is allowable, how long after power is cut can we continue to have these pieces move?

    Thanks

    All actions must be initiated during the match period. The referees assess the bonus points as quickly as reasonable following the end of the match. There will be a short time period while they access the field before assessing bonus points, but once in position they will not wait for all motion to complete.

    Default End Game bonus

    Lets say our robot is able to jack up another robot higher than 12 inches at the end of the play in the Home Zone. However when power is cut at the end of match the pneumatics might drain some which allows the robot to fall back down.

    If the robot is above 12 inches when play stops will the officials award the bonus points even if the raised robot settles down below the 12 inch mark?

    The prior answer from January 19 still applies.
