teacher,

I suggest using the current version of the rule in question. In case you aren't aware, this rule was updated on 3/4 to be initiating the deliberate or damaging contact.

The intent of this rule is that teams don't have to take damage from someone else. This is NOT Battlebots; if you damage someone else inside their frame perimeter, you get a penalty. It's been that way for years (and I've seen prior incarnations of that rule, before there was such a thing as a frame perimeter!).


Oh, and I do suggest that you read Section 5.5.3 before suggesting bringing a recording to the question box. The Head Referee will not view such recordings.
