Re: G28 Clarification - Air Powered Shooter
Does anyone want to try to formulate the question so when the Q&A goes live there doesn't need to be 3 non-answers citing "The GDC does not rule on design" ?
Does G28 preclude the use of air to affect the movement of FUEL that is inside the volume of the ROBOT? When will air currents from a robot draw a G28 penalty? |

I'm having a hard time coming up with good wording, but something to the effect of using air to power the fuels motion offensively, but not defensively. It could be clarified nicely if they have G28 not apply inside your own launchpad. This allows air shooters but not air defense. Building off your second question (but still no easy answer), Where is the threshold between incidental air movement versus forced air movement. |

If you were to set fuel at the end of the "barrel", there wouldn't be enough air pressure to move it, or one could even demonstrate with paper there is no air current at the end of the barrel. Then you can demonstrate to the head referee that there is no air flowing outside of your robot, so G28 would not apply. |

Re: G28 Clarification - Air Powered Shooter
You know what I like about the rulebook this year? They have these nice, simple, bolded titles that describe the intent and effect of each rule. In the case of G28 it states "Don't use air to direct/redirect FUEL." That seems pretty clear what the intention of the rule is. We're not to use air to direct/redirect fuel.
