Clarification to the ruling of the generator switch (considered level if contacting the switch and/or the robot during endgame) and revealed the official audience screen graphic.

So, uh… THIS is the traditionally-painful post-Week 0 update? A loophole closure and “here’s the audience graphic”?
Excuse me while I find my jaw, it’s on the floor around here somewhere…
And that’s a mark of a well-written rulebook. Truth be told, I don’t think there’s going to be a lot of G15-A violations given the other rules about the endgame.

I wonder how they envision 2 or 3 Robots shutting down access to all Power Cells on and off the field? (Change made to d. in G22 Blue Box)
It seems to me this totally guts the purpose of this restriction. All a team needs to do is have at least one Power Cell remain on the rack in their own Alliance Station, and then they can block access to any Cells that are on the field without penalty.

15 PC in 3 Robots. 15 PC in the Rack. Guard 18 in the trench or loading zone.
Shoutout to the GDC for such a well written Game Manual this year!
This is very, very nit picky…but my OCD is screaming at me from the offset rebel logos and the lack of symmetry on the display (I personally would favor them progressing towards the middle)

That’s my point. The 15 (actually 14, plus the extra one allowed) in the rack are not being guarded by the ROBOTs.
It a classic case of the “Blue Part” of the rule not “exactly” matching the “Black Part”. Blue part says don’t collude with your “partners” which (to me at least) could mean the entire alliance - human players included. But the black part is only about the robots. But still, if you are keeping 15 behind the wall then it is the robots colluding to keep the rest out of play. It’s a sure G22 violation.
Keeping “the rest out of play” was what the rule said before the TU13 change. Now it is all the Power Cells - on and off the field - that must be isolated by ROBOTS before G22 kicks in due to point d in the Blue Box.
