Re: <G29> Robots in opposing zones.

Tetraman has it right. I should look at the intent of the rule. Although, I want to say the next few things without seeing the intended meaning:

Firstly, looking at the exact wording of the rule, "Only one opposing ALLIANCE ROBOT is allowed in the opponent’s ZONE."
Let me rewrite that, assuming I already know I'm on the RED alliance: "Only one BLUE alliance robot is allowed in the BLUE's zone."
Here, it looks like the rule limits the number of offenders an alliance can have in the zone nearest their goals (if I'm not mistaken).

Also, a clarification if someone can provide it. The rule states, "A ROBOT is considered in this ZONE if any part of the ROBOT is in contact with the ZONE's green carpet." Where is the exact boundary of the zone? From what I have read, 'green carpet' does not define the boundary of the zones. This would only apply to robots that travel through the tunnel, and I assume the "boundary" is the exact center of the bump.

Tell me what you think...
