Re: Team Update 1-17-2014

In light of this update, I have a hypothetical for you CDers...

If our robot carries the ball such that some part of the ball is outside our frame perimeter - is it legal for an opposing robot to bump our robot (intentionally) in a spot where the opposing robot (or an appendage of the opposing robot) will hit the ball.

And the same question but what if this action necessarily damages elements of our robot supporting the ball?

I'm not talking about incidental contact but a strategy aimed at dislodging the ball which has near certainty of impacting/damaging our robot extensions?

Before this update, I thought that might be launching. But it clearly is not now - I think.

Comments?
