G419       ROBOTS LAUNCH into their own GOAL. ROBOTS may not:

A.      intentionally place or LAUNCH ARTIFACTS directly onto their own RAMP, or

B.      place or LAUNCH ARTIFACTS into the opponent’s GOAL or onto the opponent’s RAMP.

Violation: MAJOR FOUL per ARTIFACT and the opposing ALLIANCE is awarded the PATTERN RP if G419.B.

The intent is for ROBOTS to score by LAUNCHING into the open top of their own GOAL. Attempts to intentionally score points with actions that enter the ARTIFACT further down on the RAMP are considered violations of this rule.

Attempts to score points for the opponent either through the opponent GOAL or with actions that enter an ARTIFACT further down on the opponent RAMP are also considered violations of this rule.

There is no violation for scoring in an opponent’s DEPOT.

11.4.5        Opponent Interaction

Note, G420 and G421 are mutually exclusive. A single ROBOT to ROBOT interaction which violates more than 1 of these rules results in the most punitive penalty, and only the most punitive penalty, being assessed.
