Re: Is an appendage part of the robot?

Yes, an appendage is part of a robot

Yes, you would get a foul in the situation you described (all other rules would apply)

Quote:
[G28]
Robots may not touch an opponent Robot in contact with its Key, Alley, or Bridge.
Violation: Foul; Technical-Foul for purposeful, consequential contact.
Is the only rule that applies here. In the manual their is nothing explicitly stating "an appendage is part of a robot" but I guess to that I would ask what exactly would it be apart of, if not a robot?

EDIT

I guess you could infer from this that appendages would be a part of the robot

The Robot must satisfy the following size constraints:
horizontal dimensions must not exceed 28 by 38 in.,
the absolute height must not exceed 84 in.,
the height of the Robot at the start of the match must not exceed 60 in.,
any appendage may not extend more than 14 in. beyond the frame perimeter
