Gorillabots FLL City Shaper Practice Run 260 pts

Team 18027: The Gorillabots
These are our very first missions for this season. We are a little bit behind because we created a whole new robot this year and have had some challenges getting it to work. Right now, we are focusing on the easiest missions - just pushing things around. We hope to have a LOT more missions ready for the Qualifier!

Love the first run guys. Well done

Very Nice!

Okay... Big rule change this year. That big template you set up in the launch area? You can't touch it after you launch the mission without incurring a penalty. You can only interact with items in the launch area in between missions! If possible, you should remove the template before pushing the start button.

This is very true, many rule changes this year. Be sure to understand them all. Very nice runs though

Some head referees consider jigs left in the launch area to be stranded and allowed to be touched under update RG09. This is ambiguous so check with your local rules authority.

We actually spoke to our head ref about this. He said if it's in the LAUNCH area (the mat), it cannot be touched while the robot is moving. Anything in the HOME area is free game, though. I looked back at the rules, and they support this. As long as the jig is completely in HOME, it can be moved, as long as it doesn't cross the line into the Launch area or the mat.
