18 - TOUCH PENALTIES (this rule is about what happens when you touch the robot)

* If you touch the active robot or anything it's touching while the ROBOT is completely outside Base, you lose one "touch penalty object" (identified in the Missions).

* If you touch the active robot or anything it's touching while its CARGO is completely out of Base:

- if the cargo was with the robot the last time the robot left Base, it goes to Base.

- if the cargo was NOT with the robot the last time the robot left Base, the ref takes it away.

* Warning: Avoid touching a robot entering Base until its cargo has also reached Base!

If the only part of the robot in Base at the time of the touch is a cord, hose, wire, tube, chain, string, or other feature obviously used purely for extension, the robot is treated as if it were outside Base.

(Italics, bold and underlining formatting added to clarify the rule as it applies to this situation.

Best Regards,
Bill

This year requires cargo to be partially in to be counted in. So B Bergenstock is correct.

Not a ref here either.

(Not a ref, but asked this question earlier) As long as the pizza (or any object) gets into base before you pull the robot in, the yes, it counts.  If you pull the robot in and by pulling it in then cause the object to be pulled in, then no.

Dear referee,
Since we have a long arm for getting  the pizza, could the pizza still
count if I pull the arm when the robot comes back to base(with the
pizza hooked onto it)?
