Re: Gears: vigorously placing vs. launching
The refs will be looking for intentionality on this one.
If you have a fuel caught somewhere on top of your robot and hit the brakes and it falls off, it will not fall straight down. Unintentional.
If you have a spring that pops it up in the air at the same time as part of the design, it would be intentional.
Now for the gear. Gears WILL fall off robots. If you are using it as a design or driving strategy, it will be a foul. If your driving to the lift and the gear falls off a foot back and happens to land on the lift, I would not expect a foul. If you are repeatedly able to do it, expect a foul.
