Answered: <G12> Disruption of Hanging Clarification

[tmwilliamlin168]

From game manual:

<G12> Strategies aimed solely at the destruction, damage, tipping over, disruption of Hanging, or
Entanglement of Robots are not part of the ethos of the VEX Robotics Competition and are not
allowed.

Does the “disruption of Hanging” include disrupting robots that are going to hang (disrupt a robot while it is moving towards the hanging bar and it fails to hang) or robots that are only in the actual process of hanging?
In autonomous this would make the difference between a legal and an illegal disruption, because some robots would move directly towards the hanging bar at the start of the match, when the disrupting team, for example, throws a star over.

It refers to disrupting a team that is in the process of Hanging. The intent of this rule is to protect Robots while they are trying to hang.
