Answered: <G11> Ruling Carried Over

[Ephemeral_Being]

I just made a post using a Q&A answer from last year. Any chance you can confirm that the ruling still applies?

Specifically, we’re interested in this bit.

If a robot has expanded in an effort to obstruct the field, you are no longer protected by <G11> while teams try and get past your obstruction. What this means is that you should expect and be prepared for vigourous interaction from the team trying to get past you. If your robot gets damaged while they are trying to get past you, they are not responsible. However, if their sole purpose is just to damage your robot, they would obviously penalized. As quoted above, intentionally ripping out wires is an example of something that would always be penalized.

Yes, intentionally ripping out an opposing robot’s wires is still illegal.
