Re: Team Update #16 - EMERGENCY
This has been discussed here more than a little bit. However long it took, I am very glad that they changed this rule. When they first announced the interpretation they are now changing it was obvious to me that it could be a real problem. Any rule that allows you to be disqualified because of the actions of your opponents has a great potential to be abused.
If I am reading it correctly, I actually think the way it is now worded strikes a good balance. If I try to push the red robot into my zone in order to disqualify them, I get disqualified. If the red robot is trying to block me from scoring in my zone and as a result is pushed into another blue robot then the red robot is disqualified.
