Right, but the action took place during teleop, and this is the big question I have, if you do something during telelop can you be penalized for it during the end game.

if it was done, i'd assume the same rule for minibot would apply, you got them on, you have to get them off.

If I pin your robot at the end of teleop, can the penalty be called in the endgame?

If you do something during teleop and you can't be called for that action in the endgame, boy will there be a lot of pins when the lights start flashing.

It's a deliberate action taken to prevent a minibot from climbing. The rule does not say, In the End Game, you can't interfere with deployment/climbing. It says, You can't interfere, with no time limit given. So if I slam an Ubertube over your post's target autonomously, and it interferes with minibot deployment (which it probably will), and I don't get a red card, you're going to be in the question box explaining to the ref that you couldn't deploy because I slammed an Ubertube over your target. (In that case, I'd also get a penalty. But I might view the penalty as minor compared to the race points.)

Deliberate interference=red card.

RE: SteveGpage. Human player may only offer robot a tube via the designated slot. It can't be tossed into the arena over the player station.

I'm tired of quoting the manual for today so all I will say is "Try again".
