Don’t damage the Field. Robot interactions which damage the Field or any Field Elements are prohibited. For the purpose of this rule, “damage” is defined as anything which requires repair in order to begin the next Match, such as causing part of a Goal to detach from the Field.

Teams are responsible for the actions of their Robots at all times, especially when interacting with the Goals. If a Team chooses to repeatedly ram full-speed into a Field Element, it will be hard to convince a Head Referee that any damage caused was “accidental.

This rule has additional Violation notes. See Appendix D.
