Plus in this case if i remeber correctly, the call was made off of the fact that 71 was trying to score tetras and was shoved in the process, because of the placement of field elements this year it increases the chance of teams crossing into otherwise forbidden territory because the goals are right there by the wall.
As a matter of fact, only 1 robot was disabled by the refs at boilermaker, and that was when 45 tipped right onto the scoring table, they were then pushed by another robot which almost resulted in amanda morrison getting an arm to the face, man the look on her face was pretty priceless  We concluded it had to do with andy bakers resentment of being refered to as TechnoKittens. |
True, i can see your point. But my point is, even after they backed away they didn't get disable nor penalized. And i did not here about that other situation. I am glad to know that everyone is ok though. And yes i thought that was so hialrious when they got refeered to as the TechnoKittens
