Re: Robot-to-robot and robot-to-trailer

I might be slightly mistaken here but it seems like if contact outside the bumper zone with the trailers is not allowed it would mean teams using a dump truck style method to score the moon rocks and consistently made contact with the pipes of the trailer then it should result in a penalty?

I guess any method for delivering moon rocks that would possibly make contact could risk a penalty. I know one of the biggest reasons for examination of this rule is associated with Descoring, but I foresee it possibly effecting many SCORING methods as well. I anticipate clarification of this rule but my assumption would be that contact with the pipes would have to be lax or there may be a lot of penalties.
