Primary documents
The analysis rests on primary documents rather than summaries. This page holds the documents that matter most as archived copies: every URC rulebook from 2007 to 2027, the official score sheets for 2022 to 2026, the 2027 Q&A snapshot and the official pages on advice, logistics and history. A source identifier in the text links to the matching bibliography row, and the bibliography links back to these files.
Why an archive copy
Live competition pages change. A rulebook can be replaced, a score sheet can be re-uploaded, and a Q&A page can be edited. The copy kept here is the one the book cites, so a claim can be checked against the document that supported it.
Rulebooks, 2007 to 2027
Twenty rulebook editions cover 2007 to 2027, from the separate 2007 Level 1 and Level 2 documents to the 2027 rules, with the 2021 virtual rules kept beside the cancelled field season. Each PDF is paired with extracted text where the scan is hard to search. The rule history, the requirement table and every clause link depend on this set.
Official score sheets, 2022 to 2026
The official score spreadsheets for 2022 to 2026, each with a CSV export. These rows are the base for every score statistic, rank and zero rate in the analysis, and the results explorer reads the compiled version.

Q&A snapshots
The 2027 Q&A page as captured on 2026-10-25. The Q&A page quotes the rulings; this file is the record of what the page said on that date.

URC pages
Official pages on advice, logistics, history and the 2027 team list, saved as text and HTML together. The advice page records what the judges asked teams to demonstrate; the logistics pages record the site, travel and power constraints.
What the archive covers, and what it does not
The archive holds 117 files across the four groups on this page. It does not hold every source in the bibliography: a team site, a vendor datasheet and a news article are cited to their public address, and only material that can change or disappear is copied here. Where a live page is unstable, the saved copy is the record the analysis used, and the snapshot date is stated with the entry.
A document’s own date is kept even when the file was saved later. The 2007 rulebook is dated 2006, the 2027 Q&A snapshot carries the 2026-10-25 capture date, and the score sheets carry the year of the competition, not the year the spreadsheet was downloaded.
