Re: Tipping opponents robots

One thing that caught my eye was the penalty for violating <G36>. Or, more accurately, the lack of one. <G36> violations receive a YELLOW CARD, but no explicit PENALTY. This is the only rule that I can find that has this particular punishment. Two or more YELLOW CARDS turn into RED CARDS per the Tournament rules, but to me this would indicate that you get one "get out of jail free" card per event (actually, one in the qualification rounds and one in the elimination rounds since you get a clean slate for the playoffs).

Lawyering the rules? Absolutely - but I'd rather the discussion begin now than after my robot has been intentionally flipped on Einstein...
