Re: Team SCREAM's prototype robot

Looks fantastic. With 2 weeks of driver practice on a full field and a live defender bot your drive team ought to be pretty polished come Arkansas. By the time we get to see you in KC the following week... should be amazing.

Curious as to how the refs will call the robot to robot contact. You were practicing against a really short defender, but someone of normal height would probably saddle you with a G28 for being bulldozed out of the way by an arm that hit them inside their frame perimenter. Not sure if G14 would apply if the defender initiated the contact. Should be a discussion point at the driver's meeting before each tournament. Many robots will have that issue/non-issue.
