End Game

[FRC188]

Rule G25 gives examples of robots that stay in the home zone during end game. Could you explain the penalties if a team enters the home zone after the start of end game? My guess is that the team would receive a 10 point penalty on entering and 10 point penalties for every 5 seconds they remain in the zone. Another guess would be the same as my first except that they would receive additional penalties at the 5, 10 and 15 sec mark instead of every 5 seconds after entering and receiving the first penalty.

[GDC]

A robot that enters the opposing Home Zone during the End Game will immediately receive a 10-point penalty. If the robot remains in the Home Zone after 5 seconds from the time of entry it will receive another 10-point penalty. If the robot remains in the Home Zone after 10 seconds from the time of entry it will receive another 10-point penalty.

Please note that the time will be counted by the referee and is not subject to appeal.
