Is it now illegal to play defense on an opponent whose camera is mounted low enough such that your robot blocks its view of the goals? Where is the line drawn between blocking the camera vs. blocking actual shots? If you mount a vertical flap of polycarb to your robot and say that it's just there to block flying boulders, does that make it okay? |
Add sponsor stickers and say that is your sponsor plate; now it's main function isnt for blocking anything.
This is going to turn into a material war. They specifically locked out plastic, but what if a team uses bumper fabric?
