    Default Not allowed to move counterclockwise, or not allowed to back over any lines?

    Ref G22. Is it permissible to go clockwise after a ball or to assist apartner as long as your between the lines forming a quaderant of the track and not interferring with opponents.

    Thumbs up Not allowed to move counterclockwise, or not allowed to back over any lines?

    Some peoples' interpretation of rule G22 is that, since a penalty is assigned if a robot breaks a plane/crosses a line on the field going clockwise, within each "quadrant" of the field (between each finish line and each lane marker) any direction motion is permitted as long as nobody crosses a line the wrong way.

    Is this interpretation too loose?

    The intent of Rule <G22> is that robots must move in a counter-clockwise direction when proceeding from "quadrant" (between a Lane Marker and Finish Line, or a Finish Line and Lane Marker) to "quadrant." However, robots may move freely within each quadrant in any direction.
