1588: Regarding gloves on G8C


1239E
15-Jul-2023

In rule <G8>, clause C states that you may not bring materials that simplify the game challenge, although the note right under clause c states that personal belongings such as gloves or earplugs are allowed. With that being said, would it be legal to wear gloves that enhance grip when loading the match load triballs onto a robot? Thank you for your time, 1239E

As stated in your question, clause C of rule <G8> specifically makes gloves legal for use during a Match. Per rule <S1>, you should ensure that your actions don't damage Triballs. If a Head Referee determines that you've damaged a Triball (e.g., leaving residue, markings, or dents) you may receive a Disablement or Disqualification for the Match.
