Hanging

As I have the triangle drawn on the attached image, I don’t think I am trapping the robots in a way that is illegal. If I am, can you redraw where the line would have to be? I’m just curious as to how everyone read the rule.

I’d suggest asking on the official Q&A, but I believe that it would be ok (however, I don’t like wallbots, so I wish it weren’t ok… :p).

We’re tossing around the idea of a robot that can do exactly zero scoring. It’s going to be more annoying than a Wallbot, though. And much, much easier to drive.

@TheCyborgs:

Ohhh okay, that makes much more sense then.

This is not illegal trapping.

(also, the trapping rule is just a change in terminology from the pinning rule for Gateway).

I will say this If I meet a robot on the field that "manages to put both of my robots into the corner. Firstly, I commend you because you are a far supioror driver than I am and have managed to actually trap me. Secondly, I will use both my robots to get you out of my way. Just sayin’

Explain why there’s a pinning def as well? :slight_smile:

During gateway they said “pinning without contact” meant 2 feet by 2 feet or less. Now they just made a new rule so that pinning is only with contact and trapping is the old “pinning without contact.”
