Other than that, Week 3 is proving to be much better than week 1 & 2 as always
You may still be missing my point, <G36> coupled with <G35>:

<Partial G35>
Contact outside of the BUMPER ZONE is generally not acceptable, and the offending
ROBOT will be assessed a 10-point penalty, and may be disqualified from the match if
the offense is particularly egregious or if it results in substantial damage to another
ROBOT. Incidental contact will not be penalized.
Contact outside the BUMPER ZONE
that is a result of tipping caused by contact within the BUMPER ZONE will be considered
incidental contact.
It is clearly not incidental contact if there is no need for the end effector to be raised/used for interaction in the first place. When acceptable bumper-bumper defense is being played, any arm/manipulator that is used out of the bumper zone (5' in the air) to interact/contact with the defended robot's manipulator is unnecessary, and clearly done intentionally. I ask again, why should they not be given the 10-point penalty if the interaction was done intentionally?
