This is in contrast say, BlueBot2 being by RedFender and getting pushed all the way into RedBridge, which wouldn't inherently result in any penalties.** However, if BlueBot1 can stay in front of RedBridge and never contact either RedBridge or RedBot-in-contact-with-RedBridge, Blue is not penalized (yay, high traction!)


*"the area around the bridge" was deliberately not fully clarified, but it was indicated as something in the vicinity of one robot/half a bridge distance.

**Of course, if BlueBot1 were pushed into RedBot2 who was in contact with RedBridge, there's potential for both Blue G28 and Red G45, depending on exact circumstances.

This was clearly confirmed at the driver's meeting. I believe the wording was "if red robot is putting themselves in a position to interfere with a blue balance, they are also putting themselves in a position to receive 'interfering with the balance' penalties."

Can we please stop discussing the "Cincinnati defense," it still hurts to much....
