Re: Bad Call?

This call was very tough for the refs and i can fully explain the situation. The ramp bot deploys one very big ramp with two sides that are connected with one piece of fabric. the ramp delopys and makes a very big ramp simialr to the aim high ramp. one side of the ramp deployed on top of two innertubes. The platform of the ramp did not rest on any tubes and the only tube under the ramp was stuck on a support leg that was in the middle of the tube so the tube could not be removed. the other tube was under the ramp leader up to the platform an was hold up the ramp, but not the platform that held the robot. Other the other side of the ramp, the other robot got up and there were no tubes under it.

The refs call was that the tubes under the ramp supported the ramp which was connected to the platform which was connected to the other half of the ramp and platform by a piece of fabric so the other robot also did not count.

My only dislike with the call was that the second robot was not counted even though their ramp had no innertubes near it. that was a terrible call, but the one 12 inch bonus wouldn't have won the match anyways.
