There is no stated penalty for violations of this rule, so the referee must use the diagram on page 12 to determine what the penalty for this infraction is.
We have played more than sixty matches at camp this week. There is a recurring situation for which we need clarification. When a red robot is attempting to elevate, a blue robot repeatedly hits the robot. It is unclear whether the red robot could have or would have elevated, so there is no way to know if the rules violation was match affecting. To be clear, the head referee is unable to guess whether or not the red robot could have or would have elevated.
What is the penalty for this infraction?
