If we compare this with the calls at regionals, anything would go. It just depends on the regional.

If we compare this with the calls at nationals, 173 would have been disqualified. Let me give an example.

In our semi-final match on Einstein field (Einstein division) at nationals, our parter, 303 was trying to push Heatwave (312?), into our scoring zone (they attacked them head-on at the beginning). They got flipped up while pushing them and rode up on top of Heatwave. They rode up on top of their tether mechanism, which came off the robot and got stuck under 303. It remained there for the rest of the match (Heatwave was also disabled in the process). Point-wise, we would have won the match.


In the end of the match, blame was placed on Heatwave for not having a secure tether mechanism. They were disqualified and our alliance won the semi-finals.
