The 72" rule was called when you were tipped last year. The offsides rule was called even if you were tipped in 2006. I fully expect that a robot that falls down and blocks off the lane will potentially be flagged for both the 80" rule and the impeding traffic rule, unless there is an update that said something to the contrary. But yes, insult to injury.

I still can't help but think that we'd all be more than a little upset if a well-meaning opponent gutted our pneumatics or wiring by sticking their gripper into our robot. It may seem like the graciously professional thing to do, but manipulating a robot that you are not familiar with is potentially
very dangerous, and I wouldn't hesitate to flag a team that caused damage by doing so.
