Per rule <G9> it states that
b. Drive Team Members are not permitted to break the plane of the Field Perimeter at any time during the Match, apart from the actions described above. c. Transitive contact, such as contact with the Field Perimeter that causes the Field Perimeter to contact Field Elements or Scoring Objects inside of the Field, could be considered a Violation of this rule.
and per rule <SC2c> it states that
c. Any rule Violations, Major or Minor, during the Autonomous Period will result in the Autonomous Bonus being awarded to the other Alliance. If both Alliances violate rules during the Autonomous Period, no Autonomous Bonus will be awarded.
Examples:
- Red1's Drive Team breaks the plane of the field while pointing to strategize with Red2's Drive Team near the end of the Autonomous Period.
- Blue1's Drive Team is against the field wall and bumps the field perimeter very minorly which shifts a ring slightly on the field.
- Red2's Drive Team is against the field wall and bumps the field perimeter which causes the ring on the Alliance Stake to become more firmly Scored on the Alliance Stake.
- Blue2's Drive Team is against the field wall and bumps the field perimeter which causes the ring on the Alliance Stake to become Descored from the Alliance Stake.
- Red1's Drive Team breaks the plane of the field while pointing to strategize with Red2's Drive Team after the end of the Autonomous Period while the Autonomous Bonus is being calculated.
Should any of these actions happen during or after the Autonomous Period from an Alliance, would this be considered a Violation that should affect <SC2c>?
