It's part of <G35>: A ROBOT may attach to and/or climb onto a ROBOT on its own ALLIANCE. A ROBOT may not attach to and/or climb onto a ROBOT on an opposing ALLIANCE (doing so will be interpreted as an attempt to damage an opposing robot, and may be penalized as such). Driving onto the opponents ramp is a 10-pt penalty. I saw what happened - I saw that the robot backed onto and off the ramp 3 times, but in rapid succession. Maybe it could have been a single 10-pt penalty rather than 3 infractions, but the ref dropped the flag, picked it up and repeated twice...
