SG6 Goal Clarification

NUKE
6-Oct-2021

In Manual Version 2.0: SG6 it states at the beginning of the rule:

Rings on the Alliance Mobile Goal are "safe". Strategies intended to remove Rings which are Scored on or in an opposing Alliance Mobile Goal are prohibited. Examples of "intentional strategies" could include, but are not limited to:

This makes me believe that the intent of the rule is only for Alliance Mobile Goals and not Neutral Mobile Goals, but in the examples it says:

Robot mechanisms or actions solely intended to "lift off" Rings from Mobile Goal Branches.

Robot mechanisms or actions solely intended to "scoop out" Rings from Mobile Goal Bases.

"Knocking over" or otherwise forcefully manipulating an Alliance Mobile Goal such that Rings become removed.

I have 2 questions regarding the wording of SG6:

  1. I want to know if the reading that the first two actions apply to Alliance and Neutral Mobile Goals or just Alliance Mobile Goals?

  2. I just want to ask again from Q&A 802 if intentionally tipping a Neutral Mobile Goal to remove Rings is allowed? The answer was yes from 802, but I just want to see if the answer is still the same?
