AERIAL DRONE COMPETITION PRO • RECF
<TS1> It’s not over until it’s over. All Scoring statuses are evaluated after the Match ends, once all scoring objects on the Field come to a rest. a. This rule’s intent is for the inputs from the Pilots and Drivers and the motion of the Drone and Robot to cease at the end of the Match, when the timer reaches zero (0:00). A pre-programmed routine which causes the Robot or Drone motion to continue after the end of the match would violate the spirit of this rule. Any scoring that takes place after the Match due to Robots or Drones continuing to move will not count towards the score and is a Violation of this rule. b. In cases where a last-second scoring attempt is “too close to call,” Teams will generally be given the “benefit of the doubt,” and the score will be counted. c. Violation Notes: i. Because scoring that happens after the Match is not counted, all Violations of <TS1> should be recorded as Minor Violations. ii. If a Team receives three <TS1> Minor Violations within the same event (including all Qualification and Elimination Matches), all future <TS1> Violations at that event will be considered Major Violations and Disqualifications.
<TS2> Scored Pump. Pumps begin in a neutral position and can be individually Scored by an Alliance. A Pump is considered Scored by an Alliance when the Pump is primed so that the red color is visible on their opposing Alliance’s side. If no red color or only the black bands are showing, then the Pump is considered “Neutral” and not scored for either Alliance.
Figure 3.15: Pumps in three positions: Scored for the Blue Alliance, Scored for the Red Alliance, and Neutral.
