C'mon guys, the rule is clear:


It says the ROBOT attempting the HANG is immune to the violation, not the ROBOT defending the hang is immune. Whoever interpreted it any other way is just plain wrong.

I am entering a Q&A tonight.
Paul:

Dave confirmed your and my assessment of G39 via PM. G39 is written to protect OFFENSIVE robots trying to score ringers. Case closed.
