Re: 2006 Penalties

One penalty that I saw (it was called on our team) was ramming in autonomous mode. During the semis,
wWe set our auto-mode to go at about 85% speed across the field to try and stop a robot from dumping into the corner goal, like we had been doing all day. However, instead of getting in front of the robot, we smashed into them and received a 5 point penalty, making the score of the match 32-34, with our allience losing on the penalty.

This penalty could have been avoided by putting bumpers on the front of our robot, for anyone who wishes to avoid it,
