Another question is what happens if both go after a RC, both grip but slip out, causing the RC to fall on one of the sides. Is a penalty assessed, and to whom?
I've been mulling basically the same thing....
We have a decent drive train and a pretty strong "grabbing" device... I could picture us grabbing a recycling bin off the step at about the same time (or just after?) a rather top-heavy robot on the other side and dragging both the recycling bin and the other robot over... Would we be penalized for this? Would they?
