Re: Hypothetical defensive situation

Here's the rule in question here:

Quote:
G08. Don’t tear others down to lift yourself up. Strategies aimed at the destruction or inhibition of ROBOTS via attachment, damage, tipping, entanglements, or deliberately putting a GEAR on an opponent’s ROBOT are not allowed.
The rule mentions nothing about whether the robot who tipped was in an unstable position. It does however mention that you are strategizing to destroy in inhibit the other robot. By tipping them under any circumstances, you are inhibiting them from competing in the match (unless you're 330) and therefore would result in at minimum a foul and a yellow card. I don't believe that the loading zone comes into this at all.
