I saw at the Western Michigan regional where a tether got tangled around another robot but they were never DQ'ed. At the end of the match they had to unwind the tether from around a wheel. I don't know if they were on the same alliance.
Another match, a team tried to deploy their "tape measure" device but it kept bending (it was mounted to high on the bot) so they ended up driving their bot into the endzone to score. At the end of the match I saw the refs measuring the tape. I asked the team what was going on. They had a 1" tape measure on their bot and the judges told them that if they had scored with it they would have been DQ'ed. My question. Should the team have been DQ'ed for even trying to use it?
