Re: Ruling on Robonauts Balance

Quote:
[G10]
Robots may not grab, grasp, grapple, or attach to any Arena structure. Robots may not push or react against the top of the Fender. (Robots may push or react against any element of the Arena that is not protected by another rule.)
A reasonably astute observer would look at G10, and say that 118 was "attached" to the arena structure.

They would say the same thing if the 118 mechanism was used by a robot to lift itself on the rail around the arena, or the gates into the arena, or the backboards behind the goals to create a robot capable of dunking the balls (in other words the rule works the same way for "any arena structure").
