Re: Impeding in Hybrid
The rules used to prohibit impeding all the time, but were changed in team update 2.
Quote:
Rule <G40>
IMPEDING Traffic –ROBOTS shall not intentionally IMPEDE the flow of traffic
around the TRACK. During the Teleoperated Period, a ROBOT will be considered
to be IMPEDING traffic if it is preventing an opposing ROBOT from proceeding
around the TRACK. A ROBOT can be found to be IMPEDING traffic if:
the ROBOT is traveling slowly relative to the approaching ROBOT, and
moving to prevent the approaching ROBOT from passing, or
the ROBOT is stopped on the TRACK and there is no clear lane of passage
for the opposing ROBOT, or
the ROBOT pins an opposing ROBOT against an arena element, border, or
another ROBOT
Note that a ROBOT is not IMPEDING traffic if:
there is a clear “passing lane” around the ROBOT, or
the IMPEDING ROBOT and the approaching ROBOT are from the same
ALLIANCE (i.e. a ROBOT can not impede another ROBOT of the same
ALLIANCE), or
the ROBOT is in the process of HURDLING (except as noted in Rule
<G43>).
