Re: Impeding in Hybrid

Remember that per <G40>:
Quote:
Note that a ROBOT is not IMPEDING traffic if:
• there is a clear “passing lane” around the ROBOT.
If all three teams drove out and stopped right next to each other, that might be a violation. Otherwise, it seems like fair defense to me.
On the whole, I don't like the idea of being penalized for what happens in autonomous mode. There are so many things that can go wrong, and the only way to stop the robot is to E-stop - which disables the robot for the rest of the match. Perhaps there should be an autonomous-only E-stop.
