: I thought I read in Update #3 (or somewhere) that it would NOT be allowed if the robot were 'designed' to use the touching of the goal in some way to perform a function.....like to push against it to dump open a hopper to release balls.
: It would be fine if the robot hit the goal in its normal activity of dumping balls.....but it would not be allowed if the robot actually used the pushing on the goal in order to open a mechanism to unload the balls.
: It is all sort of confusing to me.....but I think this is how I read it. (Please advise me if I am dreaming about reading this somewhere.)
Your interpretations looks right on the money. See Q81 and Q83 in Team Update #3.
I remember reading the same question/answer. I don't see it in the Update, so it must have been a response from Eric someone posted on this site.

The code is hopefully pretty self-documenting, but I haven't had time to comment it (kinda trying to build a robot at the moment). - RyanCahoon [more]
