Restart
A restart is when a team cancels the current run in progress and resets the machine to attempt the run again. During a run, the team may call for a restart if their machine is stalled and not performing as expected. Only one restart per round is permitted. A restart will result in a 5-point penalty. To initiate a restart, a designated member of the team must announce intent to conduct a restart, which must occur prior to completion of the final machine step. A restart can only be called while the machine is stalled. During a restart, the team will have four minutes to reset their machine. During this time, the judges will be on standby observing the reset. If the team fails to fully reset their machine in the allowed four minutes, an additional 5-point penalty will be assessed.
