Rule <G33>

[FRC166]

Rule <G33> states: "HUMAN PLAYER Shooting Zone - The HUMAN PLAYER must remain behind the STARTING LINE and within the ALLIANCE ZONE when they are entering a ball onto the field. Each violation will result in a 5-point penalty."

Can the human player jump when entering the ball onto the field?

If the human player jumps from behind the starting line and lands in front of the starting line, is a 5 point penalty assessed?

[GDC]

HUMAN PLAYERS must keep their feet on the ground when entering balls onto the field. Jump shots and volleyball "spikes" are not permitted when entering balls onto the field.

If the HUMAN PLAYER enters a ball onto the field, and in the process crosses over the STARTING LINE, then it will be considered a violation of Rule <G33>.

Update: Jumping when shooting the balls is permitted, as long as it is done in a safe manner. Extreme jumping that is potentially hazardous to the team members or field personel, or damaging to the robots, will be considered a violation of Rule <S01>.
