G205       *This isn’t combat robotics. A robot may not damage or functionally impair an opponent robot in either of the following ways:

R206       *Don’t damage GAME PIECES. Robot elements likely to come in contact with a GAME PIECE shall not pose a significant hazard to the GAME PIECE.

G201       *Don’t expect to gain by doing others harm. Strategies clearly aimed at forcing the opponent Alliance to violate a rule are not in the spirit of FIRST Robotics Competition and not allowed. Rule violations forced in this manner will not result in an assignment of a penalty to the targeted Alliance.

G209       During the ENDGAME, don’t touch ROBOTS touching their CHARGE STATION. During the ENDGAME, a ROBOT may not contact, either directly or transitively through a GAME PIECE, an opponent ROBOT contacting its CHARGE STATION or supported by a partner contacting its CHARGE STATION, regardless of who initiates contact. A ROBOT in contact with its CHARGE STATION and partially in its opponent’s LOADING ZONE is not protected by this rule.
