Netting thrown over another robot
Answered by committee
As long as the net is created by the Team using legal materials and deployed only during the Endgame period, this would be legal.
A net that is not manufactured by the Team, or that is made out of string that measures less than 3mm at its narrowest point (or more than 1/4" at its widest point), would not be legal. Teams should be prepared to provide documentation that proves they created the net.
If a net is deployed before the Endgame, it will likely violate rules <G12> (entanglement), <G15> (trapping), and <SG4>/<SG5> (expansion).
