Re: How to get -130 In penalties

For those of you who wonder if this thread is appropriate i will remind you that the language of this post is all neutral and stated as facts, no opinions whats so ever are mentioned, if you believe that this is an example of team perfoming poorly that is within your judgement. you are left to do with the facts as you will.

i only see an isolated event that is unusual and hence can and should be highlighted as so many other achievements and unusual game play is presented in CD. now not only do they learn from their robots performance but so do all the others who watch this. without this thread it would just be buried and lost.

when i heard a team had 130 points in penalties, my first thought was

HOW?!?

i imagine you would ask the same

and this video provides an answer.

there is a very real disconnect over intent of rule and literacy of rules this year. this event highlights the extreme nature of not following the spirit of the rules.
