Re: Impeding in Hybrid
Please stop using the word "Impeding" when talking about a single robot. Just stop it!

When 1 robot stops anywhere on the track and does not extend to make themselves bigger, it is not impeding! Therefore, they cannot be breaking the impeding rule.

I would agree that they are impeding and a rule is being broken if 2 or more robots formed a line across the field.

So, a single robot can "block" part of the field. "Blocking" is the right word to use! And that is completely legal.

Qbranch (aka Alex) has it right. I am sure that they and 1114 will come up with a way to go around the blocking robot where there is room to do so. Or they can choose to push them slowly out of the way as he said.
