Re: FAQ for Q&A

According to <G32>: Neither ROBOTS, HOSTBOTS, nor MINIBOTS may break the planes of the vertically projected borders of the opponent's ZONES.

It goes on to say: "<G32> allows ROBOTS to complete HANGING a GAME PIECE, as designed, without being hindered."

My question is this, the ZONES are 84" long, the maximum length your robot could have at any given time is 84" long. However, the ends of the scoring pegs are 16" away from the wall. If my robot is fully extended at roughly 84" and I am trying to place a piece on the end of a peg then 16" of my robot will be extending out into the Caution Zone.

Is my robot still protected from opposing robots if ANY part of my robot is out of my zone?
