Re: VCU DISQUALIFICATION!
Actually, I had asked once in the Q/A about incursion into the goal more than 3in... and they said that was a DQ. Didn't give any exceptions for being pushed, etc, which implies that your robot should be designed not to go in more than 3in period. That is a safety violation whether you did it or got pushed.

You can bet it's the same in autonomous.

In our first match at the Pacific Regional, we got pushed by another robot into a corner box while trying to dump balls in and got a 5 point penalty, but not a DQ. This was not in autonomous mode.

This is interesting, since a safety violation is 10pts. Nowhere in the rules that I can see does it talk about a 5pt penalty for this regardless of how you got in the corner goal.
