Re: Discs under the pyramid
<G24>:
Quote:
ROBOTS may not actively control more than four (4) DISCS at any one time.
Violation: FOUL per extra DISC
Moving or positioning a DISC to gain advantage is considered “active control.”
Examples of “active control” include
A. “carrying” (holding DISCS in or on the ROBOT),
B. “herding” (intentionally pushing or impelling DISCS to a desired location or direction), and
C. “trapping” (pressing one or more DISCS against a FIELD element in an attempt to shield them).
Examples of DISC interaction that are not “active control” are
D. “bulldozing” (inadvertently coming in contact with DISCS that happen to be in the path of the ROBOT as it moves about the FIELD) and
E. “deflecting” (being hit by a propelled DISC that bounces or rolls off the ROBOT).
