The game is meant to be played by the humans and robots that are on the field and no one else. Duh. Other illegal acts from the sidelines include:
- Jamming a robot's radio
- Blinding a driver with a portable skylight
- Disabling a robot with an EMP canon
- Distracting a driver with an LRAD
- Shooting drivers with tranquilizer darts
- Throwing caltrops onto the field
- "Disabling" a robot with a Barrett M82 sniper rifle.
I propose that before anyone uses the "it's just air" excuse, they must explain the difference between sniping a frisbee with a puff of air, versus a well placed blunted arrow. And if they still want to argue "it's just air", then we toss them in a 75mph wind tunnel for 30 minutes or so. I mean, it's just air, it's not like it's really doing anything.
