Re: Contact with the Rack

Quote:
<G33> Field interaction - ROBOTS may push or react against any elements of the field, provided
there is no damage or disruption of the field elements. ROBOTS may not grab, grasp,
grapple, or attach to any field structure. If a ROBOT violates this rule, the head referee will
give one warning. If the referee determines that the TEAM is disregarding the warning, their
ROBOT will be disabled for the remainder of the match.
The way I read it is that the spiders and chains are meant to move/sway; so pushing them would not cause a disruption.

OTOH, the base of the rack will be (I'm guessing) Valcro-ed to the carpet; so, pushing hard enough to rotate, translate, or tip the whole thing would cause disruption, which would lead to a warning first, then disablement if they did it again.
