Re: Your tall opaque robot is now illegal

Q: "We want to modify our robot with a component specifically intended to do something outlawed by the rules. Is that against the rules?"

A: "Yes, a component intended to break the rules is against the rules"

CD: RABBLE RABBLE RABBLE RABBLE!


While I hate rules based on intent, the answer to the question should not shock anyone. If the purpose of the component on your robot is to do pretty much anything other than interfere with the drivers or sensors of another robot, it is permitted by rule 9. The fact that it might interfere doesn't matter.
