I would also like to make a comment about lining up robots in autonomous mode. According to the rules, during elimination rounds the highest seed has the last chance to line up their robots accordingly. Before one of our elimination matches, all 6 teams were behind the lexan, and they were about to announce the teams, when we looked at the field our opponent left their alliance box and was repositioning their robot to hit us. Since we were about to be announced I did not have time to change our program and they hit us. I find this action violates a clearly stated rule. It also appears that this was done on purpose so we could not change our autonomous mode. This type of action does not seem to fit under the FIRST moto of gracious professionalism.
