FAQ for Q&A

[CodeMonkeyMatt]

The Q&A's up to post questions, but I'm a little confused. I saw about 6 questions in there earlier today, but now there's only 2, and there's no posts in the answered part of it. This is the first year (sadly) that we've been focusing enough on the rules to use the Q&A, so if someone with more experience could tell me if that's normal, I'd appreciate it.

There are two ways to look at this, and both have valid points. That's why it's one for Q&A.

boomer, I'll answer as best I can.
1) Nope, unless it's pinning.
2) Depends on maneuvering. If it clearly has the opportunity to try to exit and does not, then penalties would probably be thrown. However, if it's getting pushed around by the offense robot who is trying to score over it, no penalty (again, it's being forced into the situation). If you're the defense robot in this position, you need to be attempting to get out if you can. If you're not, the refs would probably be justified in throwing a penalty.
