What should robots avoid doing to other robots during the competition?

During the competition, robots must steer clear of actions that could choke or entangle other robots because such behaviors can lead to disruption and impede the fair progress of the match. Choking or entangling another robot not only poses a safety risk but also violates the principles of sportsmanship and obstruction outlined in competition rules. The integrity of robot interactions is crucial for ensuring an orderly and safe environment where teams can compete effectively.

Addressing the other choices, while helping other robots or blocking paths can sometimes be strategic, they are not inherently against the rules in the way that entangling is. Throwing objects might relate to specific game rules as well, but does not encompass the same level of direct interference that choking or entanglement does. Understanding the limitations on robot interactions helps teams design and program their robots to engage competitively while maintaining compliance with game regulations.
