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.
Violation: MAJOR FOUL. YELLOW CARD if REPEATED.
This rule does not apply for strategies consistent with standard gameplay, for example:
A. a red ALLIANCE ROBOT attempting to climb their TOWER in the final 30 seconds of the MATCH contacts a blue ALLIANCE ROBOT.
B. a blue ALLIANCE ROBOT is attempting to play defense on a red ALLIANCE ROBOT attempting to score into the HUB from within their ALLIANCE ZONE and pushes them outside their ALLIANCE ZONE.
This rule requires an intentional act with limited or no opportunity for the team being acted on to avoid the penalty such as:
C. forcing an opponent ROBOT to catch FUEL by pushing them far from (i.e. more than 48.0in (1.22m)) the HUB exit to under the HUB exit to make them violate G408.
D. a blue ALLIANCE ROBOT, pushing a red ALLIANCE ROBOT far from (i.e. more than 48.0in (1.22m)) the TOWER into another red ALLIANCE ROBOT which is in contact with the TOWER and the REFEREE perceiving that the blue ROBOT is deliberately making the red ROBOT violate G420.
