Descoring caps with cap falling outside boundary?

[gilmorkn472]

Could you knock a cap off a post and then the cap fall outside the playing field, or is that illegal?

I don’t exactly know the rule, but intentionally knocking the cap of the post out of the field is illegal.

[Avery_EKSDE]

The rule is SG8

[gilmorkn472]

Thanks.

Just for reference, if it happens accidentally the cap is placed back in the field with the color of the opposite team that knocked the cap off up

ie red knocks out cap, cap is placed back by ref blue side up

<SG8> Keep Game Objects in the field. Though it is expected that some Game Objects may
unintentionally leave the field during Match play, Teams may not intentionally or strategically
remove Game Objects from the field.
a. Balls that leave the field during regular Match play, accidentally or intentionally, will not be
returned to the field.
b. Caps that leave the field during regular Match play will be returned to the nearest foam tile,
Low Scored for the opposite Alliance color of the last Robot to contact it. If a referee cannot
determine which Robot was the last to contact the Cap, then the Cap will not be returned to
the field
