Re: Off Side Penalty?

To add to Amy's post, the text of <G26> which I believe applies is:
Quote:
ROBOTs of the same ALLIANCE may dynamically change the designation of the BACKBOT during the defensive period as long as there is at least one BACKBOT during the entire period.
I underlined what I feel is a key element in the spirit of this rule - that the defensive alliance can change which robot is backbot, but the offensive alliance cannot.
Quote:
A BACKBOT that is prevented by an offensive ROBOT from crossing the field centerline will not be penalized
If I am the referee, I will consider a disabled BACKBOT which is pushed by their opponent into an offsides position, to be prevented by the offensive robot, and therefore not subject to penalty.
