Other Changes/Clarifications

7.3.4.2 Match Play

<G19> LAP INDICATOR Use – There will be no LAP INDICATOR provided. Numbered flags will be used to score the robots.

<G22> Direction Of Traffic – ROBOTS must proceed around the TRACK in a counter-clockwise direction. Once a ROBOT has completely CROSSED a LANE MARKER or FINISH LINE, it shall not move in the clockwise direction in such a way as to completely RE-CROSS that line. A PENALTY will be assigned for each infraction.

<G33.1> Alliance Station Wall – During the HYBRID PERIOD, ROBOTS may not cause damage to the Alliance Station Walls for any reason. For example, high speed ramming into Alliance Station Walls will cause the offending team to receive one and only one warning. If further violations of this rule occurs a PENALTY will be assigned and the ROBOT may be disabled.

7.3.5.2 Robot Actions

<G42> Protection While HURDLING – Neither a ROBOT in the process of HURDLING, nor a TRACKBALL in its POSSESSION, shall be subjected to overt, blatant, or aggressive contact that interferes with the HURDLING attempt. Each incident will be PENALIZED. Bumping to signal to pass (see Rule <G38>) a HURDLING ROBOT is permitted if no passing lane is open (see Rule <G43>). Incidental contact while passing the HURDLING ROBOT or otherwise engaged in normal game play is permitted.
