Re: Most common rules violations

[G07], hands down. Now, I'm not saying that will be the most common punished violation, but will certainly be the most common occurrence. I expect any Week 1 attendee (or any volunteer ever) knows what I mean.

After that, the [R10] belay points and then bumper rules. Then [G37] and illegal Human Player actions, then [G30] protected robot contact. I also foresee problems with [G27] pyramid contact, as well as issues with rules on allowable actuators and requirements for using new options.

I'm not overly concerned with [G04] unpowered removal in this context, because the number of teams that attempt it at all will bring down the prevalence sufficiently. (Now, within teams that try it, that's another story. The same with potential 84" robot violating G22.) Over-possession with [G24] also doesn't worry me too much, given the way teams traditionally behave when they get a piece stuck and that many teams ill-prepared for this won't do much deliberate disc manipulation anyway.
