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

Why? It would be "legal" as per the rules.
Given the mindset of First leadership I don't see intentional tipping ever being allowed.

As an aside. Here is a match where we were turtled. Upper left corner. We have a low CG and do not flip easily. We got hit below the bumpers while high centered on a ball. While there was a long discussion after the match, no card was issued. One factor might have been that it wouldn't have changed the outcome of the match. The flipper apologized immediately after the match. I believe it wasn't his intention to flip us.
