Interaction of robots is expected. Robots on ramps are subject to the same rules as they are when their not on the ramps. They could get pushed off and end up out of bounds if they aren't careful! The possibility that a robot on the ramp could get interfered with is part of the game. We only ask that you drive carefully as this could easily turn into a pinning action. In that case the pinning rule will apply. Teams that have devices that can hook or grap opponents with the sole intent or main purpose to pull an opponent, will be judged the same way as a robot with a flipping device. If 2 robots get intertwined and accidentally pull one or the other over - will be left up to the judgement of the referees. Hope this clears the issue up.
