3115: Long Goal Blocking

Joseph Benin (Event Partner)
28-Feb-2026

I am looking for a little more clarification of Q3024.

  1. Is it legal for a robot to indefinitely block the end of a goal, thus preventing any blocks from being scored or descored, by a. not contacting any part of the goal itself but within an inch of the end of a goal b. by placing something over the goal such as a piece or custom plastic, that touches the goal

  2. Is it legal for a robot to indefinitely block the open section above a long goal, thus preventing the descoring of blocks, if the robot a. does not come in contact with any part of the goal b. is touching the goal itself such as with a piece of custom plastic

Thanks!
