At the AZ regional there was a match with 120 or 130 penalty points (can’t remember which) and 90-100 of them were in Hybrid mode, the team was just spinning in circles around the lines, not intentionally I would imagine.
Sorry, but if your robot is spinning in circles in hybrid mode and giving you penalties, then that's a programming error, not a problem with the rules...

That said, I think that modifying the rule to say the entire robot has to go back over the line, not just 1/4" of it, satisfies both the intent of the rule and fixes the problem.

That said, it's a bit late to be changing rules now that so many competitions have already run...
