Stealing your opponents boulders

[AndyBare]

I'll remind you of
G11 Strategies aimed solely at forcing the opposing ALLIANCE to violate a rule are not in the spirit of FIRST Robotics Competition and not allowed. Rule violations forced in this manner will not result in an assignment of a penalty to the targeted ALLIANCE. Violation: FOUL. If egregious or repeated, YELLOW CARD
That pretty much counts out blocking the feeding station.

True as G11 says "solely". As forcing penalties is not the sole purpose of this strategy, I suppose a G11 would not be called . I stand corrected

If a G11 is called on you because you are trying to draw an opponent into a G11 by blocking the feeder station, then that's basically condemning any strategy that makes it look like "you're asking for it", which would set a really bad precedent. Basically any foray into the opponent's secret passage could be considered G11 fodder.

As a side note the opponents just can't keep more than 6 boulders inside their castle. It says nothing about feeding them to their own robots; that's just preferred.
