Wait, someone is getting a penalty there. Is it the jumpee or the jumper that gets the flag? I THINK it should be the blue robot but that seems to be adding insult to injury no?

When I asked this as a theoretical situation, albeit in the reverse direction, the head ref stated that it should be a red card for the jumping robot for damage inside the frame perimeter but a foul on the jumped robot for contacting a robot in the outer works.

Was anything damaged? Contact inside the frame perimeter isn't illegal.

G24 Strategies aimed at the destruction or inhibition of ROBOTS via attachment, damage, tipping,
entanglements, or deliberately putting a BOULDER on an opponent’s ROBOT are not allowed.

"Initiating deliberate or damaging contact with an opponent ROBOT
on or inside the vertical extension of its FRAME PERIMETER is not
allowed."

It was the blue robot (jumpee) who was penalized, and then sat dead for more than a minute before resurrecting themselves for a little defense and a capture in the end.

The red robot (jumper) died 10 seconds after this jump in the opponents courtyard and never came back to life. This unfortunately gifted a couple of scales to the opponents, and cost their own alliance the capture.

93 pounds and a 14" robot, so we can move around quite quickly, yes

Red vs. Blue?

Dear CD,

Thanks to Daniel Ernst, FiM photographer, our sister team, 1188, was able to some serious Dukes of Stronghold action pictures taken at the Southfield FiM district event.

After seeing these pictures I hope most folks conclude that this is one rough competition that is easy to miss without such great pictures.
