Most Common Foul
Every year has its fouls that get called almost every match. What foul do you expect to be called most often this year? Why do you expect teams to get called on it?

Probably jumping off the airship, tbh.

Re: Most Common Foul
Smart teams will use the rule that you cannot manipulate 2 gears at a time to their advantage. I predict this will be a fairly common foul for unwary teams.

I think retrieval zone violations will be big. |
Re: Most Common Foul
G09 may not be the most common, but it will be called more than in prior years. Contributing factors: mostly-open field; many robots with rollers across open frames; plenty of blind spots on the field for short robots; call will depend on who 'initiates' contact.

Re: Most Common Foul
A few years ago, there was an autonomus where a lot of robots were bashing into the Alliance Wall.
This year, I can see a lot of them bashing into the Airship. I wonder if G15-H will be extended to cover that to protect the Pilots. |
Re: Most Common Foul
G20 violations on both robots trying to play defense and robots trying to acquire one last gear. A robot touching the rope can pretty much block off a very large chunk of area and 55 points is a huge penalty.

Also I don't even think a red card "clears" like you think it would; the match still counts against your average - it just counts as a zero. As in it will bring your average down no matter what. |

Re: Most Common Foul
Once you have a yellow in Quals, you will continue to start every match thereafter with a yellow through Quals. An additional yellow in a match converts to a red (Head Ref will hold both cards to show it is a conversion), and the next match will start with a yellow again.
Cards only reset when transitioning from Quals to Playoffs. |
Re: Most Common Foul
Dropping the Lift Handle out the port hole and then reaching after it to try and catch it will net you a yellow card. It will happen a lot. I hope I am wrong.

IIRC both were for walking/jumping over defenses... Worst part was that it was right before their tiebreaker match, which resulted in the match to be played having to be "bypassed" (FMS magic) as neither alliance wanted to play a match where the outcome was pre-determined (since red cards outside of a match apply to the next match, not the match last played). Sad situation, but the rules are the rules. |
Re: Most Common Foul
My mistake on the clearing of yellow cards. I have to admit I don't look at the card rules as much as others as we try really hard not to need them.

@ratdude: Had the same thing at an offseason, except it was the same team, on either end of a timeout. Same person from that team, too, I think. Though I should point out that for 2017, cards apply to the current (or just-completed) match--that is, the one that you're on the field for. |
