Rule G7B and Answer to Question 58
In the competition manual, rule G7B states that robots must be "fully supported by the floor, SCORING PLATFORM, and/or SCORING PLATFORM ramps on their ALLIANCE’S side of the FIELD". However, in the answer to question 58 on the Q&A, it is stated that "a ROBOT may attach to a TOTE before the start of the MATCH, provided the TOTE is not moved, in any way, from its position as placed by the FIELD staff." Does attaching to a tote still violate rule G7B since the robot attachments would technically be supported by the game elements instead of the floor?
