Re: Touching carpet under goals

OK let me get this straight, we can drive over the bottom pipes to go in the goal, but not underneath the pipes that contact the floor.

Yes. You can drive over the pipes to drive inside the goal, through the goal, or sit underneath a goal. If you somehow get underneath the pipes that contact the floor, and it's even remotely obvious, you could potentially damage the goal, which is illegal, as it's also illegal to lift, tip, or grab the goal.

I don't think it's too difficult to keep a robot from getting underneath the goal pipes. So hopefully this will not be a problem anywhere. It sounds like the goals are velcroed down pretty good, so it's gonna be a force to get under there and start lifting or damaging the goal in that manner.
