Re: Moving Backwards

Our team decided that as long as the entire robot doesn't cross the line, you can go back (based mainly on the end of they hybrid period in the demo game where humans played "robots").

According to that, the blue alliance didn't get the extra points for crossing the line, because it was only halfway across. Also, there is a 4 point penalty for going backwards across after you've already crossed fully. We decided that it might be worth it if you have to go back to assist a trackball over the overpass.
