G419       ANCHORS are off-limits. A ROBOT may not contact the ANCHORS. Exceptions are granted for actions that are inconsequential.

Violation: MAJOR FOUL and the ROBOT is ineligible for CAGE points.

The intent of this rule is to disallow the use of the ANCHOR to ease the climbing challenge.

Examples of contact with the ANCHOR that are considered inconsequential include, but are not limited to:

A.      bumping into the ANCHOR during an attempt to climb

B.      inadvertent contact while attempting to PARK

C.      inadvertent contact while driving through the BARGE ZONE

Examples of contact with the ANCHOR that are considered consequential include, but are not limited to:

D.      Reacting against the ANCHOR to lift off the floor

E.      Reacting against the ANCHOR to stabilize the ROBOT (It is possible that certain interactions with the ANCHOR that absorb ROBOT energy may still be considered inconsequential.)

F.      Overtly contacting the ANCHOR to stop the movement of the CAGE (It is possible that certain interactions with the ANCHOR that absorb ROBOT energy may be still be considered inconsequential.)
