Re: Is FRC giving high CG robots a free pass on defense?

Being one of the drive coaches for a defensive robot, I think the OP is somewhat justified. In the regional we went to, thank goodness we didn't deal with tipsy robots, but I can imagine the case where playing normal defense results in a tip.

Just like a lot of people on Chief Delphi have said, just because you have a robot that tends to fall over doesn't mean I suddenly have to avoid you. Similarily, just because your robot has the tendency to collapse upon contact doesn't mean it's my responsibility to not touch you.
