We were involved in one of my personal favorite moments. We were in the endzone, but one corner of our bot was still sticking out just a little. We have 2-wheel drive with casters in all four corners. It's designed to have the casters at one end a little off the ground for easier turning and traction on slightly uneven circumstances. We are also a ground-hugger with only a 1/2-inch ground clearance. Since the refs couldn't see under our robot even by laying on the ground, they eventually had to slide a piece of notebook paper under that corner caster to see if it was touching. It wasn't -- we got the 10 points and won.
