We removed the rings during autonomous and then picked them up from the floor.

I like the way that your robot worked, but we ran into a problem at competition when a sister team tried a similar design and similar autonomous routine.

Your robot may have been in violation of the possession rule <GR2>. Forum entry 12 in game rules and game play seems to match your situation and seems to indicate that you should have received multiple 10-point penalties. Was there any discussion by the refs?

In our case, we had to change our autonomous and teleop so that the rings were never on the robot, despite them sliding off immediately, but of course they didn't get as close to the pegs and sometimes rolled quite far when we did not give them a ramp.
