Re: Your tall opaque robot is now illegal
well thats just dumb why even have a defense element to the game if you might not even be able to use it. Just cross your fingers that all the good shooters switch to photon cannons

Re: Your tall opaque robot is now illegal
That'll then go on how the LRI or Head Ref interprets the response by the GDC.

Re: Your tall opaque robot is now illegal
The problem with the question is that the GDC is trying to be sensitive to R9, blue box A and C

If the purpose is to block shots, then that is ok, as it is an obstacle that robot designers are supposed to take into account. So, put up an opaque piece of fabric that is supposed to interfere with boulder shooting, and you are fine. If it happens to block vision, so be it. The rule is intended to prevent a defending robot from intentionally shining a flashlight directly into the camera of the other robot. As they say: Bad cases make bad law. Just make sure the robot piece has a purpose other than to interfere with sensing capabilities of the robot. Quote:

Re: Your tall opaque robot is now illegal
This is stupid. Any robots with cameras mounted low should have had countermeasures in place to deal with tall blockers. Can't every low robot now put a camera on their robot just so people can't block. In my opinion this is going to drastically change the game.

However, the Head Ref at CVR ruled that all 4'6" blockers violated R9, Blue Box A. We had to cut large holes in our blockers to make them legal. I believe this was a misinterpretation, but the rules and especially the Blue Box is not clear. -Mike |

Say goodbye to cheesecaking blockers on second picks.

Re: Your tall opaque robot is now illegal
Also say goodbye to any kind of defense against outerworks shooters.

Defensive play just moved to the neutral zone....

Recycle Rush anticipated that same problem, but told Teams to expect it and plan accordingly - which they could do without interference from the other alliance (litter being the exception). |
