Wouldn't have mattered anyway, due to the inevitable triple at the end by the one alliance in the match capable of doing it.
Regarding the can't be forced into a penalty thing....I seem to recall a qualifying match in which 2168 was given the death penalty for blocking a triple in which they were pushed into a bridge, and I do not believe any bot on the bridge ever touched them. I might be wrong about the details, though. I'd love to watch vid of that specific match again.
This match ultimately made me laugh in hindsight, as the win was the reason 16 was #8 seed instead of a very valuable 2nd pick of the top-seeded alliances. As it is, 16 picked a tough alliance and gave people a run for their money.
Getting a bit off topic from the feeder bot discussion. I wish 269 had attended IRI. I bet they would have made elims as a widebot feeder. They did an excellent job at Wisconsin for the winning 48/2826/269 alliance.
