What is the penalty for damaging another robot during a match?

The penalty for damaging another robot during a match is a major foul and could lead to a red card if the offending robot is unable to function in the match. This is in line with the governing principles of fair play and safety within competitive robotics. When one robot causes significant damage to another, especially to the point where it impacts the affected robot's ability to participate, a major foul is called, reflecting the severity of the action. Additionally, a red card serves as a stern consequence for actions that not only disrupt the match but also jeopardize safety and competitiveness. This approach ultimately aims to maintain a level playing field and enforce rules that protect the integrity of the competition.
