CHARDED UP provides a 2nd means of scoring in addition to placing Game Pieces in NODEs: DOCKING and ENGAGING with the CHARGE STATION. In addition to scoring MATCH POINTS for an alliance, this can also earn an alliance a RANKING POINT during Qualification Matches.
A ROBOT is DOCKED if it is fully supported by the CHARGE STATION at the end of Autonomous or a Match.
A ROBOT is ENGAGED if all alliance ROBOTs contacting the CHARGE STATION are DOCKED and the CHARGE STATION is level (within 2.5º of parallel to the field).
At the end of Autonomous, a ROBOT DOCKED (but not ENGAGED) on the CHARGE STATION earns 8 MATCH POINTS; a ROBOT DOCKED and ENGAGED on the CHARGE STATION earns 12 MATCH POINTS. Only one (1) ROBOT on an alliance may score CHARGE STATION points in Autonomous.
At the end of the match, each ROBOT DOCKED (but not ENGAGED) on the CHARGE STATION earns 6 MATCH POINTS; each ROBOT DOCKED and ENGAGED on the CHARGE STATION earns 10 MATCH POINTS.
During Qualification Matches, an alliance earning 26 or more CHARGE STATION points earns a RANKING POINT. There are five (5) ways of earning 26 or more CHARGE STATION points:
- ) One ROBOT DOCKED (but not ENGAGED) in Autonomous and two (2) ROBOTS DOCKED and ENGAGED at match end (28 points)
