2025 R4M Basic and Advanced Robot can use #18650 battery, right?
Yes
for 8.2.1, if a team reports about it, so the reported team must be made smaller and will restart the competition for the reported team? when is the limit of the report time? before the winner announcement?
please refer to 8.2.1 We have listed two situations here.
1.Before the contest starts,
If a robot is found to be too big before the contest starts, the judges will
give the team a chance to fix it during the pre-contest setup time. If they can't fix it in time, this
robot is out of the game.
2.After the contest:
If this problem isn't found until after the contest, and another team
reports it, the head judge will check it out. If the robot can't be made smaller to fit the rules, all
the points that team got by this robot will be taken away. that means the reported team will not have to restart the competition.
Repot time: before all teams finished.
