Re: Silicon Valley Regional 2008
I am amazed that the refs allowed this at BAE. It is a clear violation of G22. You're entire robot is in the home stretch then part of your robot goes into the previous quadrant without your robot ever leaving the home stretch.

CCW and CW are relative to the field, not the robot. The turret moving CCW with respect to the robot has nothing to do with going CCW on the field. It is the same thing as a robot going into the home stretch, then spinning CCW and breaking the plane.

I am baffled as to how the rule can be distorted to make this legal.
