Re: Flipping Rules?

Glenn,
That was our belief back in 2003. We would not actively interact with a robot that was near tipping themselves. We practiced just stopping if a robot was climbing up our ramp.
To add to the discussion, tipping is not GP and therefore is not allowed. This is not Battlebots and there is nothing inspiring about taking a robot out of competition, breaking it beyond repair or caring nothing about your potential alliance partners.
