Rule G207

G207 Right of way. A ROBOT with any part of itself in their opponents LOADING ZONE or COMMUNITY may not contact an opponent ROBOT, regardless of who initiates contact.

Violation: Foul per instance.

Teams should take note that they are putting themselves at great risk for FOULS if they sit in front of or choose to enter their opponents LOADING ZONE or COMMUNITY.
