Avalanche Rescue Challenge

Matt Olsen said:

Does the black border around the lake count as part of the lake or would touching it make your hovercraft score only partial credit?

Doug- RCX said:

The mission states “Grey” area. Therefore, if the Hovercraft touches any other color, it would score as partial credit.

Casey Watson said:

What if the hovercraft is upside down in the lake or partially touching the lake?

Doug- RCX said:

At NO point is it stated the position of the Hovercraft; right side up, upside down, on its side. Therefore all positions would score.

“Completely” & “Partially” is stated in the document and video. You would receive the corresponding score.

Mike Epperson said:

Can the hovercraft be pushed as in the way the video shows?

Doug RCX said:

Yes

Kelly Klausing said:

Where is the hovercraft starting point on the board?

Doug- RCX said:

The Hovercraft starts in the Safe Zone

When can you pick up the robot? Can you pick the robot up as soon as an attachment touches the black border?

Doug RCX said:

The General Rules provide a complete description on Entering the Safe Zone.
The simple answer is, as soon as any part of the robot crosses the black line, you may touch the robot
