Blocking Driver Vision

[FRC57]

Assuming a robot meets all Robot Rules for design, is it legal for a robot to deploy a large sail of material (presumably about 100" wide by 92" tall) for the sole purpose of preventing the opposing drivers from being about to see the (entire) Rack? Related questions would be if it is legal to use a ramp or other system for the same purpose, and if the distance of said robot from the opposing driver's station affects the legality of this action.

The FRC competition is designed to have robots compete against robots. Strategies such as the one outlined above pitch robots against the human operators, are against the spirit of the game, and are prohibited.

A team that uses a device to cause an opposing robot driver to lose control of their robot (e.g. by blocking their vision so they cannot safely coordinate the operation and movement of their robot) will be determined to be in violation of Rule <S01>. The violating team will be assessed a 10-point penalty, will have their robot disabled, and their robot may not be allowed back on the field until the device is removed.
