Re: Should FIRST address "ramp bots"?

FIRST does not like to make rules dealing with specific robot design (look at the Q&A) i think it basically comes down to the individual team looking at the rules and the strategy they want to play. if they build a wedge bot and get DQed on intentional flipping they knew the rules when they build the bot and have to deal with them. but if they just play very effectively against you and use the advantage of the wedge then i see no reason to limit the creativity of a team's design for a problem that "might" occur once in a while. for this same reason there was never a rule on how you could pick up tetras this year
