Re: [OCCRA]: Torque Bars #2

(If you would like, add this to the other thread to conserve board space and make readability better)
Answer: Like in all past years the Refs wait until the robots, goal and such come to rest. This is no more than - and can be less than - 10 seconds. Touching is touching. If a robot is clear at the buzzer and comes to rest on the bar in the 10 seconds.... then you are touching.
