G406       *Don’t abuse SCORING ELEMENTS. Neither a ROBOT nor a HUMAN PLAYER may damage a SCORING ELEMENT.

Violation: VERBAL WARNING. MAJOR FOUL if REPEATED in any subsequent MATCHES during the event. If via a ROBOT and the Head REFEREE determines that further damage is likely to occur, DISABLED. Corrective action (such as eliminating sharp edges, removing the damaging MECHANISM, and/or re-inspection) may be required before the ROBOT may compete in subsequent MATCHES.

SCORING ELEMENTS are expected to undergo a reasonable amount of wear and tear as they are handled by ROBOTS, such as scratching or marking. Routinely gouging, tearing off pieces, or marking SCORING ELEMENTS are violations of this rule.
