Re: Penalty Points at Regionals?
let's see. We got 30 points docked for entering the ball corral 3 times (not that I am complaining about it, it was my fault since I was driving, ref was just doing their job). We fixed the problem by doing what Andy mentioned earlier, attaching a piece on top of the part that the balls come out of so that it's to tall to fit inside the corral.
Although, during elimination rounds at BAE, a bot got tipped over. It used its arm pushing against the field barrier to right itself. At 1 point it had a good 1ft or 1.5ft pf its arm outside the field, abd it touched the ground. surprisingly, they never got any penalty. Maybe the ref just didnt catch it.
The most popular penalty is robots entering the corrals. The next one would have to be the human players reaching into the field to get a ball. Those are the only 2 I saw.
