Yes, but recall that "touching" in this game is not "breaking the plane" but rather "being in direct physical contact". In other words, some part of the contiguous appendage would need to be on the HDPE of the key.

What type of account? It sounds as if you're "request" is actually your request to join your team (in the Q&A's records). Your team's main contact should have account information on
TIMS. This is the only account that can ask questions. Once logged in, type your question in the search, look through the related answers, and then post your question as-written if it's not already covered. (

Yes. Remember that Blue has a right to their key shots, and getting you to move is part of that.

On the official Q&A there is the question "Is a strategy to exploit G28 considered to be a strategy to exploit G44 which would be a technical foul and red card according to G45?" The answer is "yes", but it not clear to me that it would apply to the Red robot in my scenario above.

Calling G45 is highly situation-dependent. I can tell you that G45 is a rare call, and that it's not unheard of to have multiple G28s on the same robot/pair of robots in one match. I'd recommend watching videos of matches with low/no foul points for good examples of legal defense.
