Hi, I have been looking for a similar thread but didn’t found it so I apologize if this has been already answered .

My robot 's drive isnt strong enough for pushing a mobile goal, however it can lift up the mobile goal and move it, if an opossing alliance mobile goal is in our way and can’t go around it, is it legal to lift it move it apart and continue on my way?? It won’t grasp or grapple it, just lift it from the floor with a concave part

Thanks for your time,

Nestor Ribero

We cannot provide a blanket ruling based off of this description or without seeing the robot - the final decision will be made by the head referee.

In general, lifting a mobile goal completely off of the ground would very likely be considered a violation of <SG6>.
