Re: Rules, changed by the ref, or correct interpretation?
Tom,
The only place that the word "tipped" appears in this year's Game section of the manual is G37 about when it is legal to contact someone outside the bumper zone. For this rule the definition of tipped should be easy enough to discern.
There is no rule that would assign a penalty to a "tipped" robot for a frame perimeter violation. The vertical projection of the robot is relative to a robot based frame of reference, not a field based frame of reference. This has been stated by the GDC in a Q&A somewhere, but I'm busy and don't want to hunt for it right now.
Let's try not to add any more definitions unless we really need them. Bad calls will happen regardless of if we add even more rules or not.
