Expansion Over White Support Beam
Answered by committee
Thank you for your question. Rule <SG5e>, which still applies during the Endgame period, specifically makes this contact illegal (the pertinent section of the rule is presented in bold text below for emphasis):
Robots may not contact the High Goal, Discs which are Scored in the High Goal, or the horizontal supporting structures directly underneath the High Goal. This rule applies at all times, regardless of Alliance / High Goal color.
All Violation Notes for rule <SG5> also apply. An intentional, strategic, and/or Match Affecting Violation should be considered a Major Violation, and repeated Minor Violations may escalate to a Major Violation at the Head Referee's discretion.
