You said “attaching to the Goals.”. What is the definition of that? Would sticking a piece of metal down into the 24" goal, and hitting the side of the goal be considered “attaching”?

Please explain!

We ask you to please thoroughly read the VEX Toss Up Game Manual and to please review the Q&A Usage Guidelines before posting in this forum. Specifically, please quote the rule or definition that your question is referring to.

Let’s take a look at the <SG9> from the VEX Toss Up Game Manual.

@VEX Toss Up Game Manual

<SG9> Robots may not intentionally grasp, grapple or attach to any Field Elements with the exception of the Bar. Strategies with mechanisms that react against multiple sides of a field element in an effort to latch onto said field element are prohibited. (See figures 8-10) The intent of this rule is to prevent teams from both unintentionally damaging the field, and from anchoring themselves to the field. Special attention will be paid to any teams interacting with the Hanging Structure. Violations of this rule will result in a Disqualification. Figures

We cannot rule on mere snapshots of hypothetical designs in this forum. Without more details, it is impossible to issue any sort of blanket ruling.
