AERIAL DRONE COMPETITION • REC FOUNDATION
<G8> Be prepared for field minor variances. Field Elements, PVC Field Perimeter and PVC Track placement may vary by ±3”.
The width of the Track, openings to Scoring Zones, and placement of Game Elements may vary by +/-1”.
Note: It is expected that there will be minor variances in field layouts. As long as the field is consistent for every Team at the event, all Teams will have the same opportunity for success.
<G9> Match replays are allowed, but rare. Match replays (i.e., playing a Match over again from its start) are at the discretion of the Event Partner and Head Referee, and will only be issued in the most extreme circumstances. Some examples that may warrant a Match replay are as follows: 1. Score affecting “Field fault” issues. a. Balls not starting in the correct positions. b.Field Elements detaching or moving beyond normal tolerances, not a result of Drone interactions. 2. Score affecting game rule issues. a. A Field is reset before the score is determined. <G10> No electronic communication devices allowed. Flight Team Members may not have/use any sort of electronic communication device in the Pilot Station or Visual Observer station. This includes any device that provides camera or video images. Devices with communication features turned off (e.g., a phone in airplane mode) are allowed.
<G11> Flight Team Members may not stand on objects. Standing on any sort of object (e.g. boxes, step stools, ladders) during a Match is prohibited.
<G12> The Q&A system is an extension of this competition manual. All Teams must adhere to all Aerial Drone Competition rules as they are written and must abide by the stated intent of the rules. Every Team has the opportunity to ask for official rules interpretations in the Aerial Drone Competition Question & Answer (Q&A) system. All responses in this Q&A system should be treated as official rulings from the Aerial Drone Competition Game Design Committee, and they represent the correct and official interpretation of the Aerial Drone Competition rules. The Q&A system is the only source for official rulings and clarifications. <G13> Only registered Teams may compete in an Aerial Drone Competition. To participate in an official Aerial Drone Competition event, a Team must be registered at www.robotevents.com.
