Re: What happens if a robot with a ball is E-Stopped?
This is a tough problem
I don't think that just having a ball stuck in a robot at the end of the autonomous will be allowed to be e-stopped unless that robot is somehow disabled in a way that could possibly cause damage to the field or another robot or itself.
The E-stop is a safety measure... if your robot is on fire or running out of control or something of that nature... not to correct a robot malfunction like this.
This is a good question for Q and A
They can certainly decide to allow this if they wish but it would not be something I would expect from them.
If you allow this use of the e-stop what would be wrong with e-stopping to gain some other kind of advantage on the field? If a ball from another team got lodged on your robot? If your own ball got lodged on your robot?
All good questions for Q and A
Sometimes stuff just happens and you have to deal with it.
