Re: Impeding in Hybrid

I just dont think impeding during hybrid is wrong, if the GDC decides not to call it and its "legal."
HOWEVER, if the blocking robot gets hit, that's their fault and the robot ramming into them shouldn't get penalized.

BUT, this whole issue is hard to prove which is why I dont think they will change the rule. What if a team is using a remote, but loses range, and it stops? What if a team doesn't even move from its starting position, but has an opponent ramming into them in the process of trying to do a lap during auto mode? Should that be penalized also?
Its tough. The game calls for scoring more points if you can lap, hurdle and herd faster, yet, if you go too fast and bang someone, its a possible penalty.
No referee or game is perfect and there may be conflicting issues concerning game play. Its just tough.
