Re: 2006 Penalties

The corner goal DQ is pretty annoying. The whole "approximately 3 inches" is so judgemental at the time it occurs that you can get penalized when it didnt do any harm. It's also annoying that the robot that is pushed in is DQ'd, there should be no reason to DQ them for something they can't control, but atleast the one who pushed you in gets DQ'd.

As for ramming, I don't really mind that penalty...if you're trying to ram another robot to disable it, you deserve a penalty. However the Autonomous mode ramming is a tough subject to deal with. A team angled towards our bot and rammed us preventing us from scoring in the corner goal during autonomous and got a 5 point penalty. It should be more during a regular match since you have more control over it.

As for the offsides penalty, that really upset me. A call was made that one of our alliance partners crossed the line 3 times, but we have 3 videos showing they were 10 feet behind it. The Ref must have been confused about it or something. The one thing that upset me the most was that he didn't even know who he called it against, when we questioned it, all he said was "You should have discussed it better before the match, and you're lucky i only threw three flags becuase it should have been more." The other annoying part was that the only way for the score to be over turned was for all 6 teams to agree to have it changed....sure FIRST is about GP, but the teams that are in it "just to win" won't even think about giving up a win.
