Is this legal

[amateurrobotguy]

I am going to take my own signature and stop arguing over the internet. I will leave it alone at this. A wedge shaped bot is a gray area. Blocking(As defined in the rule book) is defined as inhibiting movement while in the interaction of one or more field elements. Even at that, you can pin for 10 seconds and have to move 3 feet away. A wedge shaped robot is not blocking when it slides under and elevate the only pair of motor wheels. The robot is inhibiting movement, but the bot might not be in interaction with field elements. Take it for its face value and don't interpret it as a robot could be a field element. The wedge bot has the potential to inhibit movement without the interaction of a field element. Thus this is called entrapment. According to the rule book, if you inhibit movement without the inhibited bot touching a field element, you are given a 10-point penalty. If the rule continues to be violated, multiple 10 point penalties will be thrown and not a DQ. The wedgebot has the same ammount of potential to be legal as it does to conduct illegal activity. The refs should watch the movements of a wedgebot or any other bot carefully to ensure fair play.
