This situation has absolutely happened before and will happen again. At the NC regional a robot's battery fell out of their robot after a collision and was dragging behind them much greater than 20 inches (the wires were excessively long). They decided to stop driving but NO penalties were assessed to either team.


Basically we have an odd but certainly possible situation (pieces breaking on a robot but not falling off) that is sometimes penalized. It is sort of up to refs discretion unfortunately.
