Re: Rule Changes at off season competitions

I think we should change the rules so that refs aren't so picky about when a robot goes into the ball corral. Think about it. How many times was a penalty called because a team went just a hair into the ball corral? I agree a team should not stick a protruded object 2 feet deep into the ball corral, but I don't think if a part of a robot accidently goes a few inches into the ball corral its going to hurt anybody or make a significant difference. It's not competitive advantage in any way. You might argue that this could hurt someone, but thats why I'm saying we should not abandon the rule entirely, just use common sense. If it looks accidental, and its not a sharp dangerous object going into the ball corral, and if its not crossing the barrier too much then lets not call it. It's a nit picky rule, lets loosen it up a bit.
