G408 No more than 3 at a time. A ROBOT may not simultaneously CONTROL more than 3 ARTIFACTS.

Violation: MINOR FOUL per SCORING ELEMENT over the limit. YELLOW CARD if excessive.

Examples of interaction with a SCORING ELEMENT that are not CONTROL include, but are not limited to:

A. bulldozing (inadvertent contact with a SCORING ELEMENT while in the path of the ROBOT moving about the FIELD)

B. deflecting (being hit by a SCORING ELEMENT that bounces into or off a ROBOT)

C. inadvertent contact with a SCORING ELEMENT while attempting to acquire a SCORING ELEMENT from the LOADING ZONE.

D. SCORING ELEMENTS that have been LAUNCHED by a ROBOT that are no longer in contact with the ROBOT.

It is important to design your ROBOT so that it is impossible to inadvertently or unintentionally CONTROL more than the limit.

Excessive violations of CONTROL limits include, but are not limited to:

A. simultaneous CONTROL of 5 or more ARTIFACTS, or

B. frequent (i.e., 3 or more separate violations in a MATCH), greater-than-MOMENTARY CONTROL of 4 or more ARTIFACTS.

REPEATED excessive violations of this rule do not result in additional YELLOW CARDS unless the violation reaches the level of egregious to trigger a G211 violation.
