G40
Actions such as “carrying”, “herding”, and “trapping” are not violations
of this rule. A ROBOT may not cause a BOULDER to move from the NEUTRAL ZONE into the opponent’s
COURTYARD unless:
A. the ROBOT contacts the BOULDER within OUTER WORKS, and
B. the ROBOT completes its CROSSING (
i.e. doesn’t completely back out of the OUTER WORKS into the NEUTRAL ZONE)
Violation: TECH FOUL per BOULDER
By conditions of the note on G40, as long as it never backs fully back into the neutral zone, and finishes it's crossing, this method is acceptable.
I suppose G41 does take the stationary aspect out of the equation. Say it finishes it's cross after each shot is taken, then moves back to the neutral zone.
Thoughts now?
