Examples of violations of this rule include, but are not limited
to:
A. using a wedge-like MECHANISM to tip over opponent ROBOTS,
B. making BUMPER-to-BUMPER contact with an opponent ROBOT that
is attempting to right itself after previously falling over and causing them to
fall over again, and
C. causing an opponent ROBOT to tip over by contacting the
ROBOT after it starts to tip if, in the judgement of the REFEREE, that contact
could have been avoided.
Tipping as an unintended consequence of normal ROBOT to
ROBOT interaction, including single BUMPER to BUMPER hits that result in a
ROBOT tipping, as perceived by the REFEREE, is not a violation of this rule.
"Unable to drive" means that because of the
incident, the DRIVER can no longer drive to a desired location in a reasonable
time (generally). For example, if a ROBOT can only move in circles, or can only
move extremely slowly, the ROBOT is considered unable to drive.
