Anybody else notice 1 boulder is $35.00 from andymark?!?!? Seems crazy expensive, or did I read the description wrong and you get more than 1?

I see the same thing. The pack of 6 is $205 on gophersport.

Is it legal to shoot the boulder from the neutral zone over the obstacles to the opponents side.? So that our spy can get the Boulder and score

I'd suggest reading G39 and G40, along with G42. How many tech fouls do you want?

Check Rule G40.

Agreed. Might be a worse game to referee then Aerial Assist.

This looks like an absolutely awesome game, I'm really excited to see what everyone comes up with. That being said, there are a lot of pretty complicated field elements. It's going to be hard for teams that don't have tons of students and money to practice.

The moat has dehydrated water in it, just add water!

For rule G22, would it be considered pinning if a robot was to inhibit forward motion while the opposing robot was in an defense?

For example, if the opposing robot was trying to move past one of the barriers and blocked forward motion into our side, would that be considered pinning?

In the point values table, one of the things you can get points for is "REACHING A DEFENSE". I'm guessing it's a typo and they mean BREACHING, but I just want to make sure. Any ideas? Thanks!

Edit: Section 3.3.1, page 33

Check G43 and see if that answers your question.

I believe that in autonomous you get points for going onto the platform of a defensehaving any part of your bumpers within the outer works. Check page 31.

Read again. It's in auto mode. Reaching and Breaching are not the same thing.
