What defines a robot as "supported" during the endgame?

A robot is defined as "supported" during the endgame when it meets specific placement criteria within the Base Zone. In the context of the competition, being "supported" typically refers to the robot’s position and whether it has met the designated rules for placement in the defined zones at the conclusion of the match. This means that the robot must properly occupy or be positioned within the boundaries of the Base Zone to achieve this status.

The other aspects, such as being in the Home Zone, being activated, or having a functioning battery, while important for overall functionality and performance, do not directly relate to the specific definition of "supported" as it pertains to the scoring criteria during the endgame phase. The focus on placement criteria emphasizes that the robot’s location, rather than its operational state or power, is paramount for this determination.
