are you penaltyless?
 
I was just wondering what teams think they have had 0 line breaking penalties. We went to the Finger Lakes Regionals and we think we did not have a single penalty for breaking a line or for anything else (outside of practice matches.....I rammed=P).

Well 326 only had one the whole weekend and is was for hitting while hurdling, but other than that we didn't have any other penaltys

In 16 matches (10 qual and 6 elim) we had 1 penalty (<G22>).

Considering how many penalties were called at BAE, we did fairly well.

not a single penalty for 1414 at peachtree (we think). we went through 10 qualification matches and 5 elimination matches. too bad we wont be attending any other events this year..

We have no penalties right now.

This may change when we go to our first regional, however. :p

...How do you impede a line? Is that even possible?


I don't have any penalties! Then again, I don't have a team, either....

Team 2199 had no penalties Friday or Saturday. We think we got one Thursday during a practice match, but it wasnt announced.

2144 had a single penalty over all qualifications and our quarterfinals at SVR. We had a bent wheel and could not control our robot during that one match, and hit the E-stop immediately after the penalty to avoid more.

1135 has no penalties over at least the last three seasons.

That may be because we haven't competed since Championship 2005 and have yet to compete this year.:p

I've had 20 pushups from <G22> and 10 for going for the other alliance's ball.

Re: are you penaltyless?
 
I'm glad to see other teams that are penalty free.

We only have one that I know of. In our first match, we had a tricky situation with our drive train, and our alliance decided we were going to start nearest to the line for the lane division.

Needless to say, the bot lurched forward & immediately went a half a foot foot over the line & stopped (not completely) but we got that one penalty during hybrid mode...

Oh well.

Starting nearest to that lane divider line at the beginning of the match can be tricky sometimes.

Be careful everyone!

that's what we call it when you break the line.

That's called "breaking the plane by moving in a clockwise direction" - see <G22>. You Impede other robots - see <G40>.

Re: are you penaltyless?
 
we had several breaking the plane penalties, two ramming penalties, but no others.
