Re: Purposely lodging a ball in an enemy alliance's robot
Accidental is OK though. During the Los Angeles Regional, one of our truss passes bounced off our alliance partner's catcher and into a "dead" opponent.
What happened next?
After waiting at least 5s, and pointing at the ball, the field judge flagged a technical foul on the opponent alliance for possessing our ball. At the time I was baffled, but it follows the rules (G12 blue box). Seconds later the opponent's partner rammed them and dislodged the ball. But the damage was done. +50pt to us, and the win.
We didn't want to win that way, but rules are rules. So BE CAREFUL!
