Re: capping the tower

Just an observation...

Legal or not, the tower for your opponents team is not the closest to the feeder, but the farthest. The plausibility of accurately throwing an innertube that far and that high seems doubtful.

As to the rule, I seriously doubt that they would like it if you stuck an innertube over a <10ft high pole. getting it off would be a nightmare. That being said, as previously mentioned, the rule <G48> is under robot-robot interactions, not human-robot. As much as I would like it to, that doesn't seem to apply.

HOWEVER,

Quote:
<G24> The opposing ALLIANCE may not interfere with the DEPLOYMENT or climbing of a MINIBOT. Violation: RED CARD
Even though this is under the end game section, in the blue box, it clarifies that
Quote:
Interference by an ALLIANCE refers to any action taken by that ALLIANCE that results in disruption of the MINIBOT’s progress
which does not stipulate a time period. So my overall guess is no.
