A. We cannot make a definitive statement on a hypothetical situation, and the final decision on violations of Game Rules is left to the Head Referee at each event. However, generally, if a Robot is attempting to play the game, not simply create Fouls for the opposing Alliance, Rule [G45] will not be violated.

I am satisfied with this answer. Ultimately, it's the referees' call and they will face some tough ones this year. However, it is clear that the GDC wants us to "play the game". It sounds like we will be presumed innocent on [G45] until proven guilty, rather than the other way around. Very good.
Can anyone that's been through ref. training let us know what plan, if any, exists to announce fouls/penalties after a match? With real-time foul assessment, if there any chance for review? Any shot at learning who did what wrong?
