Re: Rough Play in Rack N Roll
At Arizona I know there were at least 2 yellow cards issued, and I think there may have been a 3rd as well. One of them was for excessive ramming (including hitting robots hard enough that their ramps would deploy), and another was for hitting the opponent with an arm while playing defense on them.
I saw lots of hitting and whatnot, but really nothing worse than last year. There are far less tipped robots this year, surprising since there are so many ramps and lifts of different qualities as well as arm bots this year.
What really surprises me though is the lack of bumpers on robots. I think less than half of all teams at AZ had bumpers, and some who did didn't always use them (39 comes to mind). If you're expecting rough play, get the bumpers!
