What is the penalty for a robot intentionally pushing another robot out of the way during a climb?

The penalty for intentionally pushing another robot out of the way during a climb is classified as a major foul. This is due to the heightened level of competition and safety considerations during critical game elements, such as the climbing phase. Intentionally interfering with another robot’s climb could lead to unfair advantages and compromises the integrity of the match, which is why a stronger penalty is applied.

In this context, other potential answers do not accurately reflect the seriousness of the action. A minor foul would suggest a lesser degree of impact, which does not align with the implications of such intentional aggression. The option stating "no foul if it was a light push" misrepresents the rules, as any intentional push that disrupts another robot's action is considered significant enough to warrant a major foul. Lastly, game disqualification is reserved for severe infractions, typically involving repeated rule violations or behaviors that severely compromise the match or participant safety, which does not apply to the situation described.
