## KEY RULE CHANGES
|
|
|
|
### Robot Construction
|
|
- **R401**: BUMPER gap allowed for REBUILT season
|
|
- **R402**: Hollow pool noodles **NOT allowed**; crosslinked polyethylene foam OK
|
|
- **R409**: BUMPERS must be fixed (no moving elements during match)
|
|
- **R412**: Team numbers required on **3 BUMPER locations**
|
|
- **R501**: Motors updated - Thrifty Bot Pulsar 775 added; several old motors removed
|
|
- **R615/R617**: VRM and RPM **removed** as legal radio power sources
|
|
- **R701**: roboRIO image updated to 2026_v1.2
|
|
|
|
### Match/Event Rules
|
|
- **R304**: **REMOVED** - work outside pit hours now only restricted by E401
|
|
- **E402**: Load-In person limit increased **5 → 6**
|
|
- **E510**: **NEW** - No automated tools running overnight in pits
|
|
- **E511**: **NEW** - Pit power shared; teams causing breaker trips may reduce usage
|
|
- **E117**: **NEW** - No recording interactions without permission
|
|
|
|
### Game Rule Clarifications
|
|
- **G419**: Collusion rules clarified - blocking both TRENCHES or both BUMPS = violation
|
|
- **G413**: Expansion limits - added Exception B for visible damage scenarios
|
|
- **G405**: FUEL ejection through OUTPOST base opening = allowed
|
|
- **G211**: AUTO center line contact = egregious violation example added
|

|
## FIELD/SCORING UPDATES
|
|
|
|
### HUB Lighting
|
|
- **NEW**: "ALLIANCE color with white chase" during TRANSITION SHIFT
|
|
- **White** post-match = 3-second scoring assessment
|
|
|
|
### Scoring Clarifications
|
|
- TOWER LEVEL 2/3: "BUMPER covers" (not just BUMPERS) must be above rungs
|
|
- Robot scoring TOWER in AUTO **eligible** for additional TOWER points in TELEOP
|
|
- ENERGIZED/SUPERCHARGED RP: Must be in **active** HUB (not just any HUB)
|
|
|
|
### Field Dimensions
|
|
- KitBot AM14U6 correction: Cut **3 inches** off side plates (not 6")
|
|
- AprilTag ID9 coordinates corrected
|
|
- ROBOT STARTING LINE: "BUMPS" and "BASE ZONE" (not BARRIERS/BASE)
|

## STRATEGY IMPACTS
|
|
|
|
1. **BUMPER gap allowed** - design around OUTPOST/field element clearance
|
|
2. **6th team member** at Load-In - more hands for setup
|
|
3. **Pit power sharing** - coordinate with neighboring teams
|
|
4. **FUEL compression variance** - design intake to handle variation
|
|
5. **TOWER scoring stacking** - AUTO L1 + TELEOP L3 = 45 pts possible
|
|
6. **TRENCH blocking collusion** - can't block both TRENCHES with 2 robots
|

## INSPECTION NOTES
|
|
|
|
- All teams **re-weighed before Playoffs**
|
|
- Team numbers on **3 BUMPER locations** required
|
|
- Battery vents must not be obstructed (especially during charging)
|
|
- No recording without permission at events
