Re: New Central Illinois Regional Looking Good!

I probably have a minority opinion on intentional tipping, but I don't think tipping should ever really be called. Imagine I push a box bot square on their side, push with full power for 5 seconds and they just get pushed to the side but stay righted. Imagine I push a tall, high CG, arm bot square on their side, push with full power for 5 seconds and they tip over. Should I get a tipping penalty for just pushing a top heavy robot who happens to tip? (Kind of joking, but if so, then I'll just build a really top heavy robot knowing that opponents would be afraid to play defense on in fear of getting tipping penalty).


Especially for a week 1 and first year event, I thought CIR was a great success. After hearing and seeing some of the issues the other regionals had, I think CIR did a fantastic job. Hopefully, Illinois doesn't go to districts next year so 1732 could attend!
