Re: Arm illegal

Chris,
As GRS has pointed out above, R05 is a rather inclusive rule down to the dimension of exposed surfaces. Please check out the revision D of the robot rules as R04 and the highlighted text also applies. Damage to event personnel and participants is the first priority, field and game pieces is the second. In addition to inspection teams, I believe UL will also have safety teams watching over things as well.
