Re: Overdrive <G22> poll: yea or nay?

I believe the rule should only be called if a robot completely enters the quadrant previous to the one it is currently in.

1. This is a hard penalty to call, if you barely touch the line after crossing the line it could induce a penalty. Also traffic builds up around the turns. If your robot has already crossed the line it can't maneuver to get to the open lane, it has to wait till the spot it is in clears up.

2. This is hard for drivers, the rumors you hear about positions 1 and 3 are true, you can't see very well on the other end of the field. Personally I can't even tell if we are playing 2 robots or three robots at the beginning of the game let alone judge where my teams robot is on the field.


If the rule was changed like this, the amount of penalty's would drop significantly and there would be less games decided on penalty's.
