This is a valid point. I think you guys might have some experience arguing valid points with refs without q&a backup, though.

Certainly the "correct" answer here is either no foul or foul on the parked defending robot. I'd just like the gdc to agree with this interpretation on the record.

I'd add in the Secret Passage contact rules to this.


Just for grins, does G11 seem familiar to the 2011 rule with a similar subject? The one that had to be revised to death?

There has usually some form of G11 in past games.
