Re: [YMTC]: Breaking robots

Based on the current rules, Red are violating G24 and should be penalized. Personally, I would prefer if G24 was re-written to eliminate inconsequential violations from robot damage, or violations caused by damage from another team.

Assuming Blue had their intake towards the ball, I would rule that G28 was not violated as Red caused the action (catalyst) for driving in to the ball/intake.

My interpretation of G27 was that the list of actions were descriptive of the sort of all penalty-inducing actions to a large enough degree (ie it has be one of the actions on the list or very similar to one). I also think G27 and G28 are meant to avoid overlapping/compounding each other. Therefore, I would be hesitant to describe the action in the hypothetical scenario as entanglement or any of the other actions. I would not penalize Blue for G27.

In summary, Blue would not be penalized and Red (regrettably) would be penalized 50 points.
