Re: Did anyone else see it this way?

I know there is better video of this somewhere but check out The Blue Alliance for video posted and see how this contact began at the 1:04 mark.

http://www.thebluealliance.net/tbatv/team.php?team=177

At the 1:14 mark you can see Pink pulling 177 over.

At the 1:18 mark the 177 drivers hands come off the controls to allow 233 to get clear.

So where is the penalty? You are talking about a fraction of a second photo that makes things look bad and misrepresents the dynamic situation that was actually taking place.
