Re: Running over a boulder foul

The boulder foul can be called a few different ways .... from what I understand these are likely scenarios. If the boulder is trapped under and not "planned" there is no foul to be called as that does not trigger "control". If a team gets called they should challenge that as control is the key wording.

However it gets interesting if two boulders with same bot make it through OW with one carried and one stuck under. Then Two boulders made it through OW in one movement, still no foul. If the bot that did that scores the carried boulder no foul , However if that same bot goes back and grabs the second boulder to score another goal then that's a Tech Foul most likely. "gained advantage"

Same if a bot carries and pushes though another in one crossing, they cannot use the second boulder right away or risk a tech foul. The spirit is one boulder per crossing not two. IF another bot takes advantage then no likely foul, its when the same bot does it in succession that a foul may occur.

So fouls for stuck boulders I doubt will trigger a foul unless some perceived advantage was garnered from that with multiple boulders involved by the same bot. At least that is what I have witnessed from watching several regionals worth games played.
