I'm surprised another aspect of these hasn't been brought up in this discussion. What if a ball hits the pole with sufficient energy to cause detachment of the camera? Even if the camera stays attached, what if the deflection causes the pole to sway into the volume of the field?
- It's not damage to a ROBOT, but do other rules apply?
- Is it considered obscuring teams' vision with the field?
- Is it a safety violation on the team with the pole?
- Is it a safety violation on the team who made the shot?
- Is it a safety violation on the defender who forced the shooting robot to turn or shoot high?
- Is deflection back into the field considered a foul for reaching into the field?
