Re: Rule 3.2.7.11 G41 clarification

From my interpretation of this, I think the intention of this rule is to prevent human players from reaching over and touching robots or balls contacting robots when they aren't in the process of removing a ball from play via human player. Example would be an opposing human player contacting your alliance's bot and its ball when they pass by, and another would be your human player trying to aligning your bot's ball properly when the bot is not in the action of passing the ball to a human player.

I advise you post a question on the official FRC Q&A for further clarification.
