The Problem & B9 -  Required vehicle traveling: The vehicle is not allowed to be in the Start  Area when it picks up a required item. The vehicle must travel into an  ecosystem where it will stop and pick up a required item (B9b). The vehicle  must travel out of that ecosystem before it begins to adapt the item (B9c).  The item must be adapted before the vehicle carries it into the other  ecosystem (B9d). The process of adapting the item must occur while the  vehicle is outside of both ecosystems AND the vehicle must pass through  (travel into the area from one side and exit from the opposite side) the  Recycling center for each delivery of a required adapted item to be  repurposed (The Problem). Extending is not traveling.

B8d "Not allowed  to be caught at the same time": When a catch is hooked the device is  considered triggered and only the Fishing Method is allowed to touch the  catch until it is successfully retrieved. Once a device used in a Fishing  Method is triggered the catch must either be retrieved to the Fishing Pier or  the attempt stopped by the team before another catch is triggered. Starting  another catch is considered stopping an ongoing catch.

B9 - Allowed Weather:  Weather is the physical outdoor environment of a setting. In the context of the  solution it must be presented as having characteristics of real states of  weather in outdoor surroundings such as temperature, wetness, air pressure,  cloudiness, moisture/humidity, wind, etc. For example wind blows and  raindrops fall. These are examples of weather and impact everything that is  exposed to it.

B8e - On the move: To  be on the move the entire catch must be moving. It does not need to be  traveling from one place on the competition site to another but it must be in  motion. For example, a top spinning in place is considered moving but a  stationary object with a single moving part will not qualify as a catch being  on the move.

B8e & B8f - What  may contact a Required Catch and when: Team members are only allowed to help  the required catches move until the catch is ready to be caught. Team members  may not help propel or guide a catch while it becomes engaged to the device  used in the Fishing Method or during its retrieval. Anything else that is  touching a required catch before the catching process begins is not allowed  to touch it during its retrieval. If the catch is sitting on, connected to,  or touching something in any way when it is on the move it must be  disconnected before it is retrieved beyond its Fishing Zone. If not, it will  be considered part of the catch and must meet all the requirements to be  eligible for score for that attempt.

B7e Making a Catch: As long as a required catch is  moving in a Fishing Zone when the device and catch come in contact with each  other, and it is retrieved by the Fisher Character while in the Pier Area,  that catch is allowed. Any team members assisting the catching process must  also be within the Pier Area. This clarification takes precedence over any  more restrictive clarifications concerning the location and operation of the  Fishing Device.
