The cable must be held by a cable holder to prevent the robot from being manipulated by the cable's movement. Participants are not allowed to touch the cable during the competition. If a cable holder is not used, the total time taken for the competition will be increased by 25 seconds and considered as the running time.
The following actions will incur a penalty of 5 seconds added to the running time per occurrence:
Touching the robot during the competition.
Manipulating the robot by the cable's movement.
Moving the competition platform or table using the body, etc.
