G418       ROBOTS may not meddle with ARTIFACTS on RAMPS. ROBOTS may not contact, either directly or transitively through a SCORING ELEMENT CONTROLLED by the ROBOT, ARTIFACTS on a RAMP, including their own RAMP. Additionally, ROBOTS may not:

A.      remove an ARTIFACT from their own RAMP except by operating the GATE, or

B.      remove an ARTIFACT from the opponents RAMP by any means.

Violation: MAJOR FOUL per ARTIFACT, and the ALLIANCE is ineligible for the PATTERN RP if G418.A, or the opposing ALLIANCE is awarded the PATTERN RP if G418.B.

Exceptions are granted for inconsequential and inadvertent contact made by a ROBOT while operating a GATE.

Example 1: A red ROBOT that contacts an ARTIFACT on the blue RAMP is in violation of this rule and is assessed 1 MAJOR FOUL under G418.

Example 2: A red ROBOT that LAUNCHES an ARTIFACT at an ARTIFACT on the red RAMP, removing it from the RAMP is in violation of this rule. The red ALLIANCE is assessed 1 MAJOR FOUL and is ineligible for the PATTERN RP under G418.A.

Example 3: A red ROBOT contacts and opens the blue GATE, causing 5 ARTIFACTS that were on the blue RAMP to leave the RAMP and return to the FIELD. Red is assessed a total of 6 MAJOR FOULS  1 under G417.A and 5 under G418.B  in addition to blue being awarded PATTERN RP under G417.A/G418.B.
