Re: The Chokehold Strategy of 2016?

Therefore, no chokehold.
However, if they touch you while YOU'RE in their defense, they get a penalty. They are penalized for violating rule G43, as you are parked in the defense that they try to cross. G43 does not cover a robot stopping an opponent from trying to cross their own defenses.
