A recent Q&A post expanded on the "swinging": A robot can "swing" for approximately, but no more than, ten seconds once a match has stopped. The requirements for the points stay the same, that a robot can be touching and ONLY touching the horizontal bar at the end of a match. IT may not touch another robot, pole, ball, carpet, goal, or any other part of the playing field.
