Re: Bad Call?
[quote=Feisty_one;609164]
Has anyone actually backed their robot up to a ramp to keep it from dropping? Would that be considered contact above the bumper zone if the ramp hits your robot?
QUOTE]
The refs could DQ the robot that back up to the ramp. Rule G38 prevents the intentional entanglement of opposing robots. It's the blocking robot's intention to become entangled with the ramp bot.
While I see scatterring tubes in your opponents home zone as a viable strategy, I hope no one delibrately interfers with robots deploying ramps during the end game.
