Re: Indiana Rookies! (far from it!)

I am sorry that you feel that it was a bad call but may i remind you that the earthquakers (3487) robot was on the blue side of the field and you were on our fender in which you were playing defense on 3947 (THE LAST CRUSADERS) which is fine you can play defense but since you were on the opposite alliances side of the field the contact was not a foul. If you are talking about the "intensity" of the impacts I think you should refer to [G27]


[G27]
Deliberate or damaging contact with an opponent Robot on or inside its Frame Perimeter is not allowed.
Violation: Technical-Foul and potential Yellow Card


High speed accidental collisions may occur during the Match and are an expected part of the game. Robots place mechanisms outside of the Frame Perimeter at their own risk; no penalties will be assigned for contact between two such extended mechanisms.

A Robot with a mechanism outside of its Frame Perimeter may be penalized under this rule if it appears they are using that mechanism to purposefully contact another Robot inside its Frame Perimeter. Regardless of intent, a Robot with a mechanism outside its Frame Perimeter that causes damage to another Robot inside of its Frame Perimeter will be penalized.

Repeated or egregious violations of this rule will earn the offending Robot a Yellow Card.

Since I am one of the drivers i can tell you that we were just trying to get to the basket as fast as we could so we could score since you guys were playing such good defense and you guys stopped us before we even got to the baskets therefore impact occurred. We are sorry that your robot was damaged but we feel that the referees did a great job and it wasn't a bad call.
