Week 3 Impressions of Rack n' Roll

[Paul Copioli]

Woah! How is the rule ambiguous? It is clear that the rule is intended to allow an OFFENSIVE robot trying to score a ringer to pin a DEFENSIVE robot against the rack while trying to score. So you are saying that a ringer robot trying to score can be pinned against the rack for an indefinite period of time? If this is true, then I am zip tying my arm down and pinning every single offensive robot against the rack at Champs.

C'mon guys, the rule is clear:

...Note that a ROBOT attempting to HANG a GAME PIECE on the RACK will be immune from a "pinning" violation as long as it is clear that the ROBOT is continuing to attempt to HANG the GAME PIECE.

It says the ROBOT attempting the HANG is immune to the violation, not the ROBOT defending the hang is immune. Whoever interpreted it any other way is just plain wrong.

I am entering a Q&A tonight.
