Re: Legality of Team 190's Mechanism?

Look. <G22> has been there all along. It says:
Quote:
<G22> Direction Of Traffic – ROBOTS must proceed around the TRACK in a counter-clockwise
direction. Once a ROBOT has CROSSED a LANE MARKER or FINISH LINE, it shall not break the plane of the line by moving in the clockwise direction. A PENALTY will be assigned for each infraction.
What is so hard to understand? At the start of the match, the robots are considered to have crossed the line just before where they are, which includes the part under the lane divider. Now, they can't break the plane of the line behind them. Therefore, 190 gets a penalty each time they swing the ball around, now that the GDC has clarified that doing what they do is a violation of <G22> even if it doesn't violate any other rules.
