hmm.. that is maybe one of the main drawbacks of FIRST's rules.. although everyone knows that flipping a robot is pretty underhanded and illegal, and i personally believe that all teams seek never to build a flipping mechanism specifically for robots, we cannot help but cheer or gasp or at least go wow.. if you notice.. steve even exclaimed oh theyre they go.. or something along that line. Obviously flipping over another robot draws attention
but i stand by my and first's belief that intentionally flipping other robots is not condusive the idea of the game and cooperation. sure its cool and fun to watch, but nevertheless its not particularly right in most situations. my two cents, it doesnt look like 121 was intentionally trying to flip 126, and that their wall was being pushed down by 126. However, i cannot say for sure, and in these kinds of cases, the refeerees always have the final call. (good job)
i certainly agree wtih clarity for the rules..hopefully we can get some for next year's game.
thanks to 121 and 308 for a great (if short lived
) alliance
