Re: Question about the rules for Ultimate Ascent

I have a question: Does anyone know if you allowed to extend part of a robot into the 1 pt. goals?

G12 says "Robots may not contact anything outside the FIELD." The penalty is being disabled, so anything that risks this is pretty much out of the question.

Arena rule 2.2.1 says that "The FIELD for ULTIMATE ASCENT is a 27 by 54 ft. carpeted area, bounded by ALLIANCE WALLS, FEEDER STATIONS, LOW GOALS, and GUARDRAILS."

So would it be okay to extend into the goal, as long as you don't touch anything? Or is the back of the low goal the boundary, and so you have free reign inside the goal?
