I really think it's pretty obvious who has an auto mode that does something, and goes wrong, and who has an auto mode that's sole purpose is to impede other robots.
In the above situation, you could easily tell by assessing whether it stopped short of the divider, hits the divider and keeps spinning it's wheels, starts madly spinning in circles, etc.
-To anyone playing devil's advocate, an impeding team could certainly have their robot do the above things to mimic a hybrid mode gone bad, but seeing as impeding teams is
already illegal, I should hope nobody would stoop to such lows.
