I've got a QnA in a pending state:
Q869
To start, I agree that the intent of G28 is to prevent blockading, chokeholds, whatever. Our team plans on NOT being in our own courtyard in the last 30s or so. Having said that...
What if we're defending our tower and POOF, robot stops responding while we're in front of the batter. Will we have just gifted a SCALE to our opponent because they drive to the batter and hit us? Worse, if our robot is halfway between two ramps of the batter will we gift TWO scales??? If the opponents attempt to challenge the tower there shouldn't be any G11 protection.
Awaiting answer from GDC and any comments. (didn't find a similar thread on CD, so I'm sorry if this has been discussed ad nauseam)
