Entering goal

Emphases mine. If DISCS are scored in the GOALS, then the GOAL has an inside, which I believe can be assumed to include the chains. The idea that the GOALS have an opening that is parallel to the field wall suggests that this boundary is only the beginning of the GOAL and that there is more goal past that boundary.

The low goal is defined as part of the field, due to what Gary Voshol stated.

If this definition of low goal IS true, and follows over to high goals, then touching the chains should be legal, assuming the robot does not get entangled.
