I suppose the
I believe update 15 addresses this as well.
The pushing robot risks penalty from ramming or safety, as I'm not sure what the point of pushing a robot at the corner goal would be.
I saw the earlier thread, and expected that the incursion DQ would be called as it was on Redabot. The earlier thread doesn't anticipate Bluabot also being DQ'd -- that's why I asked for clarification (or correction) of what actually happened from someone who was directly involved.

A referee who was on the scene and witnessed the play commented that he hoped this double-DQ call would not occur frequently, since it seems to be a method for a team that is hopelessly behind in an elimination match to force a tie and (in effect) get a replay.

I believe in intuition and inspiration. Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution. It is, strictly speaking, a real factor in scientific research.
