Clarification of SG6.
Is it legal for a robot to intentionally tip over cones?

[VEX_GDC]

There are no rules preventing this. The full text of SG6 is quoted below for reference:

<SG6> Robots may not intentionally grasp, grapple or attach to any Field Elements or the opposing Mobile Goals. Strategies with mechanisms that react against multiple sides of a Field Element in an effort to latch onto said Field Element are prohibited. The intent of this rule is to prevent Teams from both unintentionally damaging the field and/or from anchoring themselves to the field. Minor violations of this rule that do not affect the Match will result in a warning. Match Affecting offenses will result in a Disqualification. Teams that receive multiple warnings may also receive a Disqualification at the Head Referee’s discretion.

SG6 only refers to Field Elements and opposing Mobile Goals. There is no mention of Cones. (many Robots legally Possess Cones by grasping or grappling them)
