Re: How is possession determined in regards to resources open to both sides?
Q. How far does an object (tote or recycle bin) have to be off of the Step so that the other alliance would be penalized under G18 for touching it? For example a recycle bin tipped on its side half resting on a tote and half resting on the step?

A. Imagine a plane extending upwards from the far edge of the STEP, if a ROBOT part crosses through that plane, it can't touch anything on the other side per G18. So if any portion of the object is still on the near side of the plane, the ROBOT could touch that portion.

Seems straightforward. Whoever wins the tug of war gets the object regardless of who was in possession first.
This does however mean if you designed a hook that hooks onto a tote or bin then that connection better be stronger then the guy on the other side otherwise you will have your debris crossing over to the other side of the step and that is not a pretty penalty...
