At least 7 Scored Pin Halves and at least 3 Goals each containing 2 or more Scored Pin Halves. The other standard conditions still apply.
A Robot accidentally knocks an already placed Pin out of a neutral Goal. The Pin was scoring points for its own Alliance. Is this still a rule violation?
Yes. SG10 prohibits removing Placed Scoring Objects from neutral Goals, regardless of which Alliance they score for.
A Team replaces its bot's entire drivetrain chassis between Qualification and Skills Matches while keeping the same Robot Brain. Is this legal?
No. Replacing all of Subsystem 1 (drivetrain) creates a second Robot, violating regulations.
