Transferring a boulder without a CROSSING.

[rich2202]

Per these Q&A's, the transfer is not legal. The ball was clearly in the Neutral Zone, G40 applies, so the Bot must also start from the NZ.

Q588 Q. G40 scenario: Robot A in the NEUTRAL ZONE passes a BOULDER to Robot B in the OUTER WORKS. Robot B controls the BOULDER in the OUTER WORKS and travels with it into the COURTYARD. Legal? Robot A would appear to have only caused the robot to travel from the NEUTRAL ZONE to the OUTER WORKS. Robot B cause it to travel from the OUTER WORKS to the COURTYARD.

A. As long as ROBOT B meets all of the criteria for a successful CROSSING per Section 3.1.3, and all of the criteria in G40 are met (ROBOT contacts the BOULDER in the OUTER WORKS and it also starts in the NEUTRAL ZONE and ends in their opponent's COURTYARD, i.e. CROSSED), this would be a legal movement of a BOULDER to the opponent's COURTYARD regardless of ROBOT A's involvement.

Q603 Q. The response to Q588 regarding G40 answered the case where Robot B meets the criteria for a successful crossing. What if Robot B does not meet the criteria? If Robot B first encounters a boulder in the Outer Works, has it not violated G40 because it did not cause the boulder to move from the Neutral Zone, but from merely the Outer Works? Does the response depended upon which alliance caused the boulder to end up in the Outer Works?

A. If ROBOT B does not complete a CROSSING, then G40 has been violated. ROBOT B is the one that completes the action of the BOULDER moving from the NEUTRAL ZONE to the COURTYARD and is thus considered to be the one to have caused it.
