2556: Is it legal to reach into the Target with your robot?
Our team is thinking about a design that would extend into the low Target without touching the switch. We would like to confirm whether this is legal. The action in question is shown in the following image: img
We couldn't find any rules disallowing it, although the manual does clearly state that the robot should never come in contact with the switch. As long as there is absolutely no robot contact with the switch, would this be considered legal?
Answered by committee
Yes, this would be legal. Much of our answer to Q&A 2324: Robot Pushes ball through Goal applies your question as well.
