Re: Team Update #16 - EMERGENCY
The issue was simple. As the rules stood before today, if my robot pushed your robot into my zone, and you contacted another robot from my side in the zone (or if I pushed you far enough in that my robot was also in the zone) then your team would be given a red card. My team would receive a yellow card, but in elimination rounds this would mean my robot could push yours into my zone and thereby win the match automatically.
To fix it, they said that if I intentionally push you into my zone, I get disqualified and my alliance loses the match. Apparently this ruling only applies to elimination, so I can still DQ you (if I am willing to take a yellow card) if I push you into another robot in my zone. If I unintentionally push you into another robot in my zone (such as trying to get you out of the way so I can score) then you still get a red card.
