It appears that the rationale on G63 allows for bonus in the situation described above:
Rationale: To accommodate the potential of an UBERTUBE HANGING over a LOGO PIECE.
If you didnt get the bonus, there would be no reason for someone to do this, thus no reason for the rationale.
Also, in the tube scoring grid, note that it shows "Over" striked through, and replaced with "With".
Also, in the blue box below that, it states:
Ubertube will double peg score when hung in front of OR behind logo piece
--------
A couple questions other than that:
-Your rationale on G33 states: "Rationale: Allows short incursions into the LANE which have no effect on game play.
Note that if a
GAME PIECE is in the LANE and a ROBOT makes contact with it, the PENALTY does apply. "
What if the game piece is only partly in the lane, and the hostbot only contacts the piece outside of the lane? i know previously this would be allowed but your rationale seems to contradict this.
-You striked through G23, which now allows robots to camp at the tower spot (maybe theres still time to consider this rule being changed back?

)
However, the rule about the robot interfering with deployment still remains in effect. So lets say, opponent A is touching My teams tower. I go up to the tower, but instead of touching the tower, im up against the opponents robot that is touching the tower. Now, i have a super long deployment system, and despite me not touching the tower, i can still reach. So, i line up the deployer with the post, and i fire my minibot. Once my minibot has crossed the vertical projection of the base i am considered deploying, by definition. At that time, i am also in contact with the opponent's robot, thus interfering with my deployment, by rule <G24>. Will a penalty plus red card, as stated in <G24> be handed out for this situation?
Thanks,
