Re: 469 Entanglement / Bad Refereeing on Galileo

f I looked at it from a same-team standpoint, it would have been an obvious entanglement. If I looked at it from an opposite-team standpoint, it would have been an obvious, and difficult to see, accident. If I looked at it from a judge’s standpoint, it would have been a difficult call to make, and as I stated before, since other overly-aggressive tactics were not called, that may have played a part in the decision not to penalize team 469 for entanglement.

The same thing happened to our team too.  We really did not care though because it was a great game and it was an accident Personally I think that the team that build the robot actually could have used a material that would have prevented entanglement. We used this lovely vinyl that Team 870 gave us. It's amazingly flexible and very durable even after it was pulled by a robot.
