: 1. I have seen other HPs accidentally touch their robots,
: escpecially when loading floppies. This is incidental contact,
: but it should be called. Contact such as brushing a basket's
: netting and contacting the basket's 'rim' while dunking
: a floppy are both violations.

I disagree. Rule P20 says that incedental contact is okay. How can you say that they should call something that the rules indicate as 'okay?'

The purpose of the rule is so that the HP doesn't change, fix, right a fallen robot, or anything like that. It doesn't disallow light, quick, accidental, incedental contact.
