Re: OVERDRIVE Rules/Scoring Questions

No one seemed to know the answer in another threads so I'll try here.

I wonder what the refs will do if a robot breaks down in the middle of the track, thereby obstructing it. Will it be a penalty?

During the Kickoff broadcast, they gave a brief tutorial about the IR board. They said that different remotes can disrupt the receptors. Does this mean that the robocoaches can disrupt another team's IR board?

During the game practice, two red "bots" passed the trackballs back and forth. On would lift it over the bar and then the other would pass it back. Could you hypothetically do this the entire game, as long as you are not obstructing the path?

Also is there anywhere where we can find the tests that the refs will be using so that we can see what penalties they focus on the most?
