G206       *Don't violate rules for RPs. A team or ALLIANCE may not collude with another team to each purposefully violate a rule in an attempt to influence Ranking Points.

Violation: YELLOW CARD and the ALLIANCE is ineligible for the BONUS RPs.

For example, if Team A on the blue ALLIANCE agrees with Team F on the red ALLIANCE to contact each other while each ROBOT is climbing the TOWER resulting in both ALLIANCES being awarded the TRAVERSAL RP.

Rule G210
G210       *Don’t expect to gain by doing others harm. A strategy not consistent with standard gameplay and clearly aimed at forcing the opponent ALLIANCE to violate a rule is 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.
