Re: Team UPDATE - 2014-03-25

Does anyone expect the Waterloo SF 1-3 situation to happen again? (I don't, maybe once)

It was a very specific situation that led to the ruling favouring blue. It is equally likely that a similar collision could go the other way if the defensive robot broke completely.

I'm not defending the GDC's decision, but I suspect they are taking "what are the chances it will happen" approach given the complexity of the robot interaction rules. (see 2012 build season cantilevered bridge grappling definition)
