Re: Bulldozing - allowed?

Warthog:

I have only watched webcast so far. I am a little concerned over the number of times there are tubes in the way of ramp deployment. Seems like a ramp bot/lifter would have to clear a landing zone for their ramps/lifters (love your lifters by the way, can not wait to see them in action). When clearing a space for ramps/lifters, would a team be penalized for herding? I would like to believe that when a robot clears a space in the home zone, the refs would not take a strick interpretation of the herding rule and penalize them. If a ramp bot/lifter were merely trying to clear the home zone, even if multiple tubes were being pushed into the corners or playing field or wherever. The Q & A you mention should make it legal, I hope! I have also not seen any penalties called whenI have seen robots clear the area.
