How does 469 not violate <R19>?

I think he means when the ball is on 469's ramps not in contact with the ball return, so no <G47>. However, I think it would be hard to interact with ball on top of 469 without violating <G30> or <G38>.

You would have to design a superstructure such the lower half of your bot can drive most of the way into the tunnel and would the superstructure be close enough (not touching) to 469's ramps so a 9 inch ball would get stuck (on both ramps hopefully). Since your bot can't expand (not your tower) you are at a disadvantage (not sure if its physically possible). If it is possible, a major disadvantage is that as only defender you leave both goals wide open while you sit there. 469 might be able to undeploy and back up to free the balls for others to score. Although, that might cause a (few) <G45> penalties on 469 if it actively touches balls during undeploy (debatable if these penalties are caused by your defender). Thats at least something to think about. If I were on 469, I wouldn't let other teams near the ramps with a tape measure
