Re: What happens if a robot with a ball is E-Stopped?

Current rules read to me that it's game over for the team with a possessed ball.

Such in lies the danger of only one game piece; I sure hope teams are designing a fail safe system where if they lose power it will release the ball.

Alternately, I am really hoping a rule will be put in place that treats emergency stopped robots and their possessions as field debris so a new ball can be brought in to begin a new cycle. No such rule exists now and it seems like a massive oversight of the GDC around the same level as momentum minibots in 2011.
