Re: OVERDRIVE Rules/Scoring Questions

<G37> a. High speed accidental collisions are likely to occur during the MATCH, and are an expected part of the game. However, high-speed intentional ramming is not acceptable and will be penalized.

b. Contact within the BUMPER ZONE is generally acceptable.

c. Contact outside of the BUMPER ZONE is generally not acceptable, and will result in a PENALTY. The offending ROBOT may be disqualified from the MATCH if the offense is particularly egregious or if it results in substantial damage to another ROBOT. However, incidental contact outside of the BUMPER ZONE will not be penalized.


It seems as if you can hit someone else as hard as you want, as long as it's on the bumper, and as long as you don't seem to be aiming for them (ramming).
