G401       *Behind the lines. In AUTO, each DRIVE TEAM member must remain in their staged areas. A DRIVE TEAM member staged behind a HUMAN STARTING LINE may not contact anything in front of that HUMAN STARTING LINE, unless for personal or equipment safety, to press the E-Stop or A-Stop, or granted permission by a Head REFEREE or FTA.

Violation: MINOR FOUL regardless of the number of items contacted.

Pointing, gesturing, or otherwise extending across the HUMAN STARTING LINE such that contact is not made with carpet or other ARENA elements is not a violation of this rule.

An example of an exception for equipment safety is if an OPERATOR CONSOLE starts to fall from, or has already fallen off of, the DRIVER STATION shelf. In that circumstance, DRIVE TEAM members may step forward to catch it or pick it up off the ground and return it to the shelf.
