Re: Outside the box defense

An outside the box defense that was used against us twice at PNW in week 1 happened at the end of the match with a 0-0 and with the other alliance up 4-0 in these situations the other team took 30 points of penalties to stop us from getting a robot on our ramp. The team did this because their alliance had no ramp. I thought this was a flagrant breaking of the rules but neither time was the team yellow flagged or disabled. I really disliked this because we would have had two more wins for this and neither time did the Ref stop the other team. I implored the ref after the first match to make sure that team didn't do that again because we had them against us in another match and the second time they still didn't get a yellow card even after knocking a robot off us in the last 5 sec of one match. An interesting strategy nut one I don't like...
