Re: Rule G22 needs to be changed

To those of you who are saying "duh, just don't run into congestion", I submit to you the following exhibits. Note that when you are standing in the rightmost player station (Red/Blue 3), you cannot see what is going on at the transition into the opponent's home zone. The reflection of the diamond plate on the polycarb makes you feel like you can see straight through to the player station, when really there is a robot hiding back there. I haven't made up my mind on whether the rule needs to be changed, but the situation is not as easy as an armchair coach might think.

(Thanks to Joe Pernick and Jim Zondag for bringing this to my attention.)
