Re: [YMTC]: field of view

So I asked for the record, my question was posed as follows:
Quote:
Assuming a robot meets all Robot Rules for design, is it legal for a robot to deploy a large sail of material (presumably about 100" wide by 92" tall) for the sole purpose of preventing the opposing drivers from being about to see the (entire) Rack? Related questions would be if it is legal to use a ramp or other system for the same purpose, and if the distance of said robot from the opposing driver's station affects the legality of this action.
EDIT: Cody, my point was that saying you can't do it in front of the driver's station is just drawing a completely arbitrary line. There is very little functional difference in blocking vision directly in front of the driver's station versus 8' away from the driver's station. It's like saying you're allowed to ram other robots as long as you only started accelerating from less than 2 feet away versus saying you can't ram other robots to damage them. If the intent is that robots shouldn't ram other robots to damage them, the distance rule isn't strict enough. If the intent is to let robots ram other robots to damage them.. well specifying a distance is simply defining the amount of damage you find acceptable.
