Re: Team Update #18
Katie,
I discussed this in another thread I think. I was in the scoring area about ten feet from the minibot. It was spinning it's wheels as it climbed and when it reached the top, the wheels continued to spin but not enough force was applied to the plate. The Head Ref performed the paper test and initially determined that it had reached the top. Then he remembered a ruling about moving the plate. After checking the rules, I watched him and the rest of the refs do this, they determined that the plate had to move. Although I was not close enough to hear the refs conversation, I was sure that there was a a ref at the base of the tower when the minibot went up. A second check proved that the plate didn't move when the minibot was removed from the tower. His change in ruling was based on this second and critical check.
