Re: Safety Zone on Playing Field

While it is true for an opposing robot not being able to hit you AT ALL, you need to be fully in. Any part of your robot that is outside the safe zone, is hittable/intractable. Due to:
Quote:
<G32> Neither ROBOTS, HOSTBOTS, nor MINIBOTS may break the planes of the vertically projected borders of the opponent's ZONES.
However, it's my prediction, that since the safe zones aren't always the easiest to see, if most of your robot is in the safe zone, opposing robots won't risk getting the penalty.

But yes by ruling, as long as part of your robot is outside the safe zone and the opposing robot DOESN'T break the vertical plane of the safe zone, you are still completely hittable.
