From QA today. If the robot being defending has a camera or some type of targeting sensor, you could be penalized under R9-C.

Question
Game Manual - Robot » Safety & Damage Prevention
Q953 Q. I understand that you cannot determine whether or not a device is legal sight unseen. I am asking this question because an LRI said it would be a violation of R9-C if we had a piece of lexan on our robot standing vertically to prevent a camera from seeing the reflective tape on the goals. I see no difference between having a sheet of lexan standing 48" and a robot standing 48". Please clarify what is meant by "interfering with remote sensing capabilities" in R9-C

A. A piece of plastic installed to prevent a camera from seeing the reflective tape on the goals is a device specifically designed or intended to interfere with another ROBOT'S sensing capabilities and is prohibited by R9 and the added language included in its Blue Box.
