G421       *Do not tip or entangle. A ROBOT may not deliberately, as perceived by a REFEREE, attach to, tip, or entangle an opponent ROBOT.

Violation: MAJOR FOUL and YELLOW CARD. MAJOR FOUL and RED CARD if CONTINUOUS or opponent ROBOT is unable to drive.

Examples of violations of this rule include, but are not limited to:

A.      using a wedge-like MECHANISM to tip over an opponent ROBOT

B.      making frame-to-frame contact with an opponent ROBOT that is attempting to right itself after previously falling over and causing them to fall over.

C.      causing an opponent ROBOT to tip over by contacting the ROBOT after it starts to tip if, in the judgement of the REFEREE, that contact could have been avoided.

Tipping as an unintended consequence of normal ROBOT-to-ROBOT interaction, including single frame-to-frame hits that result in a ROBOT tipping, as perceived by the REFEREE, is not a violation of this rule.

"Unable to drive" means that because of the incident, the DRIVER can no longer drive to a desired location in a reasonable time (generally). For example, if a ROBOT can only move in circles, or can only move extremely slowly, the ROBOT is considered unable to drive.
