These are the rules of handling for non robot items like mission models. this is very important!
14 – HANDLING (miscellaneous)
Calibration – During your pre-match setup time only, you may calibrate light & color sensors outside Base.
Quality Control – During your pre-match setup time only, you may ask the ref to double-check that a particular setup is
correct/within spec, but you may not request any custom setup, in or out of the range specified in the setup instructions.
Changing Things Outside Base — You may not hand-place, extend, roll, topple, drop, throw, eject, slide, or shoot
things outside Base, even partly. You may not hand-change the position, motion, quantity, or other status of things outside
Base. Only the robot may make changes outside Base, including the addition and removal of objects. See exceptions
in the “Touch Penalties,” “Storage And Workspace,” and “Failure And Loss” rules.
Illegal Changes – If you or your robot cause illegal changes to the field other than mission model destruction, either by
accident or on purpose, the action is “undone” as quickly and accurately as possible---if possible. But if the pre-change
condition is unknown, or the changes are too confusing or severe to undo, the changes are left as is. Obviously, previous
accomplishments can be ruined because of this, but intended missions can be ruined too, and missions that obviously
benefit from such destruction are marked scoreless.
Mission Model Destruction – If you or the robot damage a mission model or defeat its Dual Lock connection, by
accident or not, the situation is left as-is. Obviously, previous accomplishments can be ruined because of this, but
intended missions can be ruined too, and missions that obviously benefit from such destruction are marked scoreless.
Inactive Robot Handling – During setup, and whenever else the robot is inactive, you may repair it, aim it, switch
attachments, select programs, reset features, and load/unload cargo in Base, or wherever your equipment is stored
