Can you descore the other alliance? Like take their hatches off or steal their cargo?

G5. Don’t mess with opponents’ scored GAME PIECES. A ROBOT may not remove a GAME PIECE from an opponents’ ROCKET/CARGO SHIP. GAME PIECES which become dislodged because of incidental contact with the ROCKET/CARGO SHIP are not considered a violation of this rule.

So no.

Thank you!

You did mention stealing CARGO, though - there’s nothing I can find that says you cannot go to your opponent’s side and steal CARGO on the floor. You cannot shoot the CARGO back to your side of the field, but you can definitely steal a single CARGO per cycle.

You can take the hatch covers and cargo from the other side of the field if they’re on the ground, but they’re both classified as GAME PIECES so you cannot descore either of them

True but you’ll have to do it without extending an intake outside of your frame perimeter.

To add onto this, if you remove a game piece from their rocket the opposing alliance could get that ranking point even if the rocket is not full.

You cannot actively descore them - I wonder if smashing into the Rocket thus shaking loose a poorly placed hatch panel and descoring its subsequent cargo (not during the endgame, of course) is legal.

Nope you cant, read section G5

G5 says “GAME PIECES which become dislodged because of
incidental contact with the ROCKET/CARGO SHIP are not considered a violation of this rule.”

I hardly think smashing into the rocket to knock things off would be incidental, at the very least though it would be pretty un-GP
