Re: Drivers' Meeting

Our robot has no apendages, and it would have to break in a pretty interesting manner in order to have a psuedo apendage, so I wasn't paying extremely close attention to all of the questions regarding them, but it seemed to me that a lot of the confusion was in the wording. I think what the ref's meant is that any contact would be subject to a penalty, whether it's actually called is at the discretion of the ref's. Therefore, if Team A has an apendage and Team B keeps running into it, it would seem logical that Team A would not be penalized, even though it is possible according to the rules. I could be wrong, but that conclusion makes the most sense, and seems to be consistant with previous FIRST competitions.
