I will have to disagree with you and agree with my brother of course. It will depend on the defination of what caused the field to fail. Since the force came from the opponents robot, I would DQ that team, even though that force was acting through a portion of our teams robot that wasn't ever meant to touch the bar in that manner. Also what if we simple lefted the arms for the robots to go under? We don't intend to stop robots, that wasn't what the design called for. The game isn't to stop robots and this team's plan is to follow what the game was intended for, that is to play with the containers. Think about it.... there is no need to stop robots once you are on top of the ramp from going under the bar. So if we were to get DQ I would have to say the only way that would happen is if we attached ourself to the bar, which isn't what we are doing. If you push into our arms, you only have 10 seconds and then you have to back away or be DQ for pinning.
