Question about ramp scoring in RoboCupJunior Rescue Line Rules 2026

Dear RCJ Rescue Committee.
I have read the “RoboCupJunior Rescue Line Rules 2026 (RCJRescueLine2026-final.pdf)” and have a question.

3.7.4. The ramp points will be awarded for each individual ramp tile instead of the entire ramp.

5.6.1. A ramp as a hazard accounts for all inclined tiles that make up one ramp. Point allocations are 10 points per ramp.

Rule 3.7.4 states that even if multiple ramp tiles are consecutive, points are awarded for each tile. On the other hand, Rule 5.6.1 states that multiple consecutive ramp tiles are considered a single ramp, and the entire ramp is worth 10 points.

I believe these descriptions in Rules 3.7.4 and 5.6.1 appear to be contradictory.
Could you please clarify the correct interpretation of the ramp scoring?

Best regards,
MASA

Since 3.7.4. was changed most recently (together with the summary; for the 2025 rules), I would interpret this as the relevant rule. Rule 5.6.1. was just not updated.

5.6.1. should have “A ramp as a hazard accounts for all inclined tiles that make up one ramp.” removed and say “10 points per ramp tile” later.
Also, 5.6.4. should speak about “ramp tiles” (and “gap tiles” and “speed bump tiles”) to be more specific.
