    Default <R08>, Update 2, <G32> interactions

    Thank you for Team Update 2; we appreciate that insight. Some clarifiying questions:

    (1) are two pictured configurations in Update 2 "legal"? They seem to meet all parts of <R08> and thus we are assuming they are legal. Correct assumption?

    (2) Is it acceptable for the robot to extend over the bumper zone of the TRAILER (not of the robot), that is the "opponent's trailer", as shown? is this "incidental contact"?

    (3) If it IS ok to extend, any limits on reaching/touching the trailer posts?

    Thank you for your volunteer support to answer our question.

    Sincerely,
    Team 1120 Q&A Lead

    We believe that the two example illustrations in Team Update #2 are correct and satisfy the conditions defined in Rule <R08> as intended.

    As shown in the illustrations, it is physically possible for a legal ROBOT configuration to partially enclose a TRAILER, including extending over the BUMPERS of the TRAILER. There are no rules that would prevent this, provided the TRAILER (including the BUMPERS, base, and vertical pipes) is not grasped, grappled, or attached to in a manner that would cause a violation of Rule <G29>).
