Are all SIMAs allowed to manipulate all game elements?

Question

In the rules it is stated that "An element still under control by a robot or a SIMA at the end of the match will not be counted."
We interpreted this sentence as the SIMAs being allowed to perform actions on the game elements, e.g. move the team's cursor or manipulate a hazelnut crate.
Could you please confirm that this is correct?

Comments

Not official (and with additionnal content to help the ruling). Each action has its own precision on the perimeter.

In E.1 section there is no precision about type of robot that can do the action so any is allowed to do so. As you state, the sentence enforce that when stating PAMI in the list.

E.2: section is stated to be exclusively for Ninja (cf E.2.a) ... But other FAQ answer let think the the robot is also allowed to do so. (It would be nice to have a rule version update with this)

In E.3.B Constraints it is noted "the robot" so litterally only the robot can do the cursor motion (but in practice I would say it is not the rule intent and PAMI might be allowed to do so).

In E.4.a it is explicitly stated robot and not PAMI

In E.5.a it is explicitly stated for PAMI only (noting that Ninja IS a PAMI)

Good morning,

Yes the SIma can manipulate all game elements, nothing in the rules says "this game element is exclusively for the main robot" as the access granary is for the ninja SIMA, or the return to zone for the main robot
