Is it Legal for Robots to Kiss as a Strategy

It’s an in-season question, but I’m serious. Lets say that it’s Einstein game 3 in endgame. If 254 starts kissing 1323, not a single defense bot will be watching the REEF, leaving 4414 open for an easy L4 BRANCH. Would 254 and 1323 be called for a MAJOR FOUL, or would the points count? The rules say MAJOR FOULS relate to unsportsmanlike behavior, but I don’t see how this is unsportsmanlike, it’s just the most uncharacteristic thing ever. What say you guys?

Not sure about the GP rating of robot PDA. You might have to submit it to the QnA session

Thanks for the context.

Guys is it may just be me but I’m starting to think that this is not a serious question. Not 100% but then again who can be! :thinking:

Buddy, it’s obviously a very serious question. I can’t believe you’d even doubt it! The stakes have never been higher. This could change everything. :smirk: Have you every seen robots kiss before? Thats what I thought. Let me tell you, it is captivating. So next time you try to dismiss a legitimate strategy, take a few seconds to think about your actions.

I can’t believe you would suggest such a thing.
