Pinning rules (G11) has similar verbiage.
Does this mean a robot can sit in the opponent's KEY for 4 seconds, completely exit it, and sit back in for 4 more seconds? Based on the rules, this would not be legal since the robot would be in the opponent's KEY for 8 seconds. But, based on previous games, the counter re-sets after exiting the zone or completing the pin. |
I am interpreting it the same way as you, I red robot am in the blue key for 4 seconds, I leave the key for .01 seconds (enough that the ref clearly breaks the count) I can reenter the key immediately for 4 more seconds.
