Contact with what? Allied Robots, Allied Trailers, Opposing Robots, Opposing Trailers? The field? Sec. E does not really specify what it's talking about. Also, that still doesn't make it illegal, just dangerous. If the descoring robot is clearly taking measure to avoid illegal contact, they can't be forced into it by another robot for a penalty. I think it needs to be asked, at the very least.
