FIRST Robotics Competition1INTRODUCTION1.1About FIRST FIRST (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology) was founded by inventor DeanKamen to inspire young people’s interest in science and technology. Based in Manchester, NewHampshire, FIRST is a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit public charity.FIRST provides four programs: FIRST Robotics Competition for grades 9-12, ages 14-18FIRST Tech Challenge for grades 7-12, ages 12-18FIRST LEGO League for grades 4-8, ages 9-14 (ages 9-16 outside of North America)FIRST LEGO League Jr. for grades K-4, ages 6-10Please visit our website: www.firstinspires.org for more information about FIRST programs.1.1 In MemoriamIn October 2019, Dr. Woodie Flowers, an innovator in design andengineering education and an incredible advisor to FIRST andsupporter of our mission (see right), passed away. As thousands ofheartfelt tributes to Woodie have poured in from around the world, itis clear his legacy will live on indefinitely through the graciousnature of our community and our ongoing commitment toempowering educators and building global citizens.Figure 1-1 Dr. Woodie Flowers, 1943-20191.2FIRST Robotics CompetitionFIRST Robotics Competition pairs high school students with adult mentors (primarily engineers andteachers) to design and build robots that compete against one another in a high-energy environment.This varsity Sport for the Mind combines the excitement of sport with the rigors of science andtechnology. Under strict rules, limited resources and time limits, teams of students are challenged to raisefunds, design a team “brand,” hone teamwork skills, and build and program robots to perform prescribedtasks against a field of competitors. It’s as close to “real-world” engineering as a student can get.Each January at an event known as “Kickoff,” a new, challenging game is introduced. These excitingcompetitions combine the practical application of science and technology with the fun, intense energy andexcitement of a championship-style sporting event. Teams are encouraged to display GraciousProfessionalism , help other teams, and cooperate while competing. This is known as Coopertition .In 2020, FIRST Robotics Competition will reach 100,000 high-school students representing approximately4,000 teams. Teams come from nearly every state in the United States, as well as many other countries.1 IntroductionV11 of 131

FIRST Robotics CompetitionFIRST Robotics Competition teams will participate in 66 Regional Competitions, 105 DistrictCompetitions, and 11 District Championships. In addition, approximately 800 teams will qualify to attendthe FIRST Championship in one of two locations in April and May 2020.This year’s game, and this manual, were presented at the 2020 FIRST Robotics Competition Kickoff onSaturday, January 4, 2020.At the Kickoff, all teams: 1.3saw the 2020 game, INFINITE RECHARGESM, for the first timelearned about the 2020 game rules and regulationsreceived a Kickoff Kit that provides a starting point for robot buildGracious Professionalism , a FIRST CredoGracious Professionalism is part of the ethos of FIRST. It’s a way of doing things that encourages highquality work, emphasizes the value of others, and respects individuals and the community.Gracious Professionalism is not clearly defined for a reason. It can and should mean different things toeveryone.Some possible meanings of Gracious Professionalism include: Gracious attitudes and behaviors are win-winGracious folks respect others and let that respect show in their actionsProfessionals possess special knowledge and are trusted by society to use that knowledgeresponsiblyGracious Professionals make a valued contribution in a manner pleasing to others and tothemselvesIn the context of FIRST, this means that all teams and participants should: Learn to be strong competitors, but also treat one another with respect and kindness in theprocessAvoid leaving anyone feeling as if they are excluded or unappreciatedKnowledge, pride and empathy should be comfortably and genuinely blended.In the end, Gracious Professionalism is part of pursuing a meaningful life. When professionals useknowledge in a gracious manner and individuals act with integrity and sensitivity, everyone wins andsociety benefits.1 IntroductionV12 of 131

FIRST Robotics CompetitionThe FIRST spirit encourages doing high-quality, well-informed work in a manner thatleaves everyone feeling valued. Gracious Professionalism seems to be a good descriptorfor part of the ethos of FIRST. It is part of what makes FIRST different and wonderful.- Dr. Woodie Flowers, (1943 – 2019)Distinguished Advisor to FIRSTIt is a good idea to spend time going over this concept with your team and reinforcing it regularly. Werecommend providing your team with real-life examples of Gracious Professionalism in practice, such aswhen a team loans valuable materials or expertise to another team that they will later face as anopponent in competition. Routinely highlight opportunities to display Gracious Professionalism at eventsand encourage team members to suggest ways in which they can demonstrate this quality themselvesand through outreach activities.1.4Coopertition At FIRST, Coopertition is displaying unqualified kindness and respect in the face of fierce competition.Coopertition is founded on the concept and philosophy that teams can and should help and cooperatewith one another even as they compete. Coopertition involves learning from teammates and mentors.Coopertition means competing always but assisting and enabling others when you can.A Message from Woodie Flowers Award RecipientsThe Woodie Flowers Award is the most prestigious mentoring award in FIRST. Theaward recipients as of the 2015 FIRST Championship created an important message forall FIRST Robotics Competition teams to consider as we tackle each season.Performing at your best is important. Winning is important. This is a competition.However, winning the right way and being proud of what you have accomplished andhow you have accomplished it is more important. FIRST could create rules and penaltiesto cover almost any scenario or situation, but we prefer an understandable game withsimpler rules that allow us to think and be creative in our designs.1 IntroductionV13 of 131

FIRST Robotics CompetitionWe want to know that our partners and opponents are playing at their best in everymatch. We want to know they are playing with integrity and not using strategies based onquestionable behaviors.As you create your robots and award presentations, prepare for competition and matchplay, create and implement game strategies, and live your daily lives, remember whatWoodie said time and time again, and let’s ‘Make your Grandmother proud.’Woodie FlowersDave Kelso (131)Earl Scime (2614)Liz Calef (88)Paul Copioli (3310, 217)Fredi Lajvardi (842)Mike Bastoni (23)Rob Mainieri (812, 64, 498,2735, 6833)Lane Matheson (932)Ken Patton (51, 65)Mark Lawrence (1816)Dan Green (111)Kyle Hughes (27)Mark Breadner (188)Eric Stokely (258, 360, 2557,& 5295)John Novak (16, 323)Glenn Lee (359)Chris Fultz (234)Gail Drake (1885)John Larock (365)Allen Gregory (3847)Bill Beatty (71)Dave Verbrugge (5110, 67)Andy Baker (3940, 45)1.5Spirit of VolunteeringA Message from the Chief Volunteers to the FIRST Community:“Giving Back” and “Pay It Forward” - these words are what motivates those whomentor, coach, and volunteer their time for FIRST.We know that volunteering - whether at events or with a team - has enormous, lifelongimpacts for everyone involved. Each and every student, teacher, event volunteer,mentor, coach, and family member learns and grows through each season as theyinteract with each other.As you attend events and interface with the volunteers there, remember that they aregiving up their most precious asset - their time - to ensure that each and every teamhas a fulfilling, fun, and memorable competition. Volunteers are the lifeblood of FIRSTand without them, FIRST would not be where it’s at today. We encourage you toremember that “Gracious Professionalism is part of the ethos of FIRST. It's a way ofdoing things that encourages high-quality work, emphasizes the value of others, andrespects individuals and the community.” At your next event, give a volunteer a HighFive or a Fist Bump and say “Thank You”.Volunteering at events is a rewarding experience, and we encourage everyone to takea break from the daily grind and join us at one in your community.1 IntroductionV14 of 131

Its audience will find thefollowing detail: a general overview of the INFINITE RECHARGE gamedetail about the INFINITE RECHARGE playing fielddescription of how to play the INFINITE RECHARGE gameall season rules (e.g. safety, conduct, game play, inspection, etc.)description of how teams advance at 2020 tournaments and throughout the seasonAll participants should also study the Event Rules Manual as it details event rules and expectations thatperpetuate from season to season. That content complements, and carries the same weight as, thisdocument.The intent of this manual is that the text means exactly, and only, what it says. Please avoid interpretingthe text based on assumptions about intent, implementation of past rules, or how a situation might be in“real life.” There are no hidden requirements or restrictions. If you’ve read everything, you knoweverything.Specific methods are used throughout this section to highlight warnings, cautions, key words andphrases. These conventions are used to alert the reader to important information and are intended helpteams in constructing a robot that complies with the rules in a safe manner.Links to other section headings in this manual and external articles appear in blue underlined text.Key words that have a particular meaning within the context of the FIRST Robotics Competition andINFINITE RECHARGE are defined in the Glossary section and indicated in ALL CAPS throughout thisdocument.The rule numbering scheme uses an indication of the section in which the rule is stated plus a serialnumbering system (e.g. safety rules begin with “S,” game rules begin with “G,” etc.). References tospecific rules use this scheme (e.g. “S1” is the Safety Rules section).1 IntroductionV15 of 131

FIRST Robotics CompetitionWarnings, cautions and notes appear in blue boxes. Pay close attention to their contentsas they’re intended to provide insight into the reasoning behind a rule, helpful informationon understanding or interpreting a rule, and/or possible “best practices” for use whenimplementing systems affected by a rule.While blue boxes are part of the manual, they do not carry the weight of the actual rule (ifthere is an inadvertent conflict between a rule and its blue box, the rule supersedes thelanguage in the blue box).Imperial dimensions are followed by comparable metric dimensions in parentheses to provide metricusers with the approximate size, weight, etc. Metric conversions for non-rules (e.g. FIELD dimensions)round to the nearest whole unit, e.g. "17 in. ( 43 cm)” and “6 ft. 4 in. ( 193 cm).” Metric conversions inrules round such that the metric dimension is compliant with the rule (i.e. maximums round down,minimums round up). The metric conversions are offered for convenient reference only and do notoverrule or take the place of the imperial dimensions presented in this manual and the field drawings (i.e.field dimensions and rules will always defer to measurements using imperial units).Some sections and rules include colloquial language, also called headlines, in an effort to convey anabbreviated intent of the rule or rule set. This language is differentiated using bold blue text. Anydisagreement between the specific language used in the rules and the colloquial language is an error,and the specific rule language is the ultimate authority. If you discover a disparity, please let us know andwe will correct it.Team resources that aren’t generally season specific (e.g. what to expect at an event, communicationresources, team organization recommendations, robot transportation procedures, and awarddescriptions) can be found on the FIRST Robotics Competition website.1.7Translations & Other VersionsThe INFINITE RECHARGE manual is originally and officially written in English and is occasionallytranslated into other languages for the benefit of FIRST Robotics Competition teams whose nativelanguage may not be English.A text-based English version can be provided only for use with assistive devices for visually and hearingimpaired persons, and not for redistribution. For more information, please contactfrcteamadvocate@firstinspires.org.In the event that a rule or description is modified in an alternate version of this manual, the English pdfversion as published on the FIRST Game and Season Materials webpage is the commanding version.1.8Team UpdatesTeam updates are used to notify the FIRST Robotics Competition community of revisions to the officialseason documentation (e.g. the manual, drawings, etc.) or important season news. Between Kickoff andFebruary 21, 2020, Team Updates are posted each Tuesday and Friday. Between February 21, 2020 andApril 7, 2020, Team Updates are posted each Tuesday. Team updates are posted on the INFINITERECHARGE Game and Season Materials web page and are generally posted before 5 pm, Eastern.Generally, Team Updates follow the following convention: Additions are highlighted in yellow. This is an example.Deletions are indicated with a strikethrough. This is an example.Notes that are added for clarity or explanation for the change but are not retained as part ofthe manual appear in bold. This is an example.1 IntroductionV16 of 131

FIRST Robotics Competition1.9Question and Answer SystemQuestions about any 2020 Game and Season Manual content and FIRST Robotics Competition EventExperience web page content may be asked to FIRST using the official Question and Answer System(i.e. “the Q&A”), which opens on January 8, 2020, 12:00 PM Eastern. Details on the Q&A can be found onthe INFINITE RECHARGE Game and Season Materials web page. The Q&A is intended to help clarifyrules, and sometimes the responses result in revisions to the text in the official document (which iscommunicated using Team Updates).The Q&A is not a resource for rulings on hypothetical strategies or vague situations,challenging decisions made at past events, ordesign reviews of a robot system for legality.The responses in the Q&A do not supersede the text in the manual, although every effort will be made toeliminate inconsistencies between the two. While responses provided in the Q&A may be used to aiddiscussion
