Definitely not a fan of that... If I print this, it's a total waste of paper to reprint old info every week. It's like printing every verse of the 12 days of Christmas 1 verse at a time! :rolleyes: :ahh:

Is there any way to just print a section of what I see on the screen?

Yes.

Do a "Print Preview" to find what range of pages to print, and then print just those pages.

In Firefox:

File|PrintPreview

File|Print, then select pages then print

Interesting, they appear to be saying no (traditional) defense at all.

Does that just mean no tipping, or no pushing, showing, getting in the way, etc?

No.

They're saying you can't attach, damage, entangle, or tip the robot, even if you weren't intending on destroying them.

Robot on robot defense, if all contact is within the bumper zone, is fully legal still (provided the defensive robot is not more than 60" tall, and all other related rules such as the offensive robot being in safe zones are followed)

You can only get points for shooting in your hoops. The original could have been interpreted as you get points no matter where you shoot. They changed it so now you can only get points from getting it in your alliance hoops.

attachment is not traditional defense.

damage is not traditional defense.

tipping is not traditional defense.

entanglement? depends on which definition of "entangle" was intended.

As an alternative to Print Preview, highlight the section you would like to print out. After selecting Print, choose "Selection" in the Page Range section of the print dialogue box (the default choice is "All"). No page numbers to remember :D

The way I read it, which, after reading this again (4th time's the charm:o), seems to be different from what was intended, was that any type of "inhibition" was illegal. But I would have to agree, they meant inhibition by the listed actions, thus, only old school (2003? back) defense is prohibited by this update.
