Re: VCU DISQUALIFICATION!

It's not a safety violation, the rule is G21:
Quote:
ROBOT Incursion into the Corner Goal - Incidental incursion into the corner goal that occurs as a result of a ROBOT pushing balls into the goal is permitted, not to exceed a distance of approximately 3 inches. Intentional incursion, for example to use a ball gathering mechanism to drop off balls inside the goal, or extending a portion of the ROBOT through the goal opening to activate the ball counting system, will result in disqualification of the offending ROBOT.
Also, the rule specifically says intentional. So if you get pushed in, it can't be intentional. As long as you're not pushed in more than 3 inches, you're okay. I'll check the Q&A real quick to cinfirm this, though.
