<S1>

Stay safe, don’t damage the Field. If, at any time, the Robot operation or Team actions are deemed unsafe or have damaged any Field Elements or Balls, the offending Team may be Disabled and/or Disqualified at the Head Referee’s discretion. The Robot will require re-inspection before it may again take the Field. Note: Teams may not step onto the Field at any time. If a Team’s Robot requires stepping onto the Field during pre-Match setup, this will be considered a Violation of <S1>, <T6>, and/or <SG1>. The Team’s Robot may be removed from the current Match at the Head Referee’s discretion.

Violation Notes: Major <S1> Violations should be reported to and/or discussed with the Event Partner during the event, and should be reported to the REC Foundation Rules and Conduct Committee following the event.
