Robot Skills Matches Rules

• One Team competes alone on the Skills field for 60 seconds

• 2 Types of Robot Skills Matches:

⚬Driving Skills Matches (driver-controlled)

⚬Autonomous Coding Skills Matches (pre-programmed

• Robot Skills Matches are optional for all Teams

• <T15> Teams play Robot Skills Matches on a first-come, first-served basis

• Each Team gets 3 Driving Skills and 3 Autonomous Coding Skills attempts

• Skills ranking is based on the combined sum of your single highest Driving score and highest Autonomous score

All criteria listed in SG7 apply as written (e.g., a Loader cannot put a Scoring Object into a Load Zone if there’s already a Scoring Object there). Loading is modified as follows:

a. In Driving Skills Matches and Autonomous Coding Skills Matches, any Driver who is not currently driving the Robot may also serve as a Loader (i.e., a Team may have one, two, or three Loaders at any given time).

b. The blue Load Zone is not used in Robot Skills Matches. All Match Loads are Loaded through the red Load Zone in Robot Skills Matches.

c. Drive Team Members must remain in the red Driver Station during Driving Skills Matches, except when legally interacting with their Robot per rule .

d. During an Autonomous Coding Skills Match, Drivers may move freely around the Field, and are not restrict ed to the Driver Station when not handling their Robot under rule . This exception permits Drivers who wish to “stage” Robot handling during an Autonomous Coding Skills Match to do so without excessive running back and forth to the Driver Station.
