YMTC: Is the Tetra Contained?
This is a situation that presented itself at the Boilermaker Regional.
A tetra is placed inside a side goal. It is touching the floor within the goal, but is being supported by the plexiglass on the side of the field. The rules state that:
"a TETRA is CONTAINED in a GOAL if some part of the TETRA is within the threedimensional space defined by the edges of the GOAL, and it is not touching the carpet outside the frame of the GOAL, and not touching a ROBOT of the same alliance, and not SUPPORTED by any TETRAS that are
not also CONTAINED in the GOAL."
So the question is - does a tetra still count if it is being supported by the side plexiglass of the field?
