Re: [YMTC]: [YMTC]: Bumper-to-Bumper Tipping
Clean hit for sure. Not even close.
What really seals the deal for me is the presence of two drawbridges on the field. This makes it very unlikely that the drivers could even clearly see the interaction happening in time to stop it.
If the driver did not back off, hit the underside of the robot, did extended pushing, etc etc it might be different, but particularly with the drawbridge in the way there's nothing the drivers could have done to stop this.
228 was the offender in a very similar incident at RIDE this weekend, and it was a no-call. We didn't even know there was a tip until 20 seconds later when someone opened the drawbridge and we saw the defender upside down.
