<G20> ROBOTS may push or react against any elements of the field, provided there is no damage or disruption of the field elements. ROBOTS may not grab, grasp, grapple or attach to the GOALS or any other field structure. Robots may not extend under the portion of the goal contacting the carpet, lift up or tip over a GOAL. If a ROBOT violates this rule, the referee will give one warning. If the referee determines that the team is disregarding the warning, or the actions affect the outcome of the match, the team’s ROBOT will be disabled for the remainder of the match. If a GOAL is tipped over, it is
automatically OWNED by the opposing alliance for the remainder of the match.


You can react and/or push against a goal or two. I don't see any latches on there to 'grab, grasp, grapple or attach to the GOALS', so I'd say it is perfectly legal.

Very nice job 118. Can you explain how the arm in the middle works? Can it cap?
