Re: pic: How illegal is that?

He is correct that this picture would not be a violation...

It would be a violation if the robot touched the game piece as both hands were on the game piece, as this would be entering the piece into play and would break the "human player only" rule.

Secondly, if the robot would break the plane of the driver's station, that too would be a 10-pt penalty, and if either/both of the team's hands crossed the player's station wall/shute, it would be a 10-pt penalty.

Ultimatly, if the robot and the players made contact, it would be a disable and a DQ if I remember correctly.
