Re: 2008 Boston Regional

Well, if they decided not to penalize them because they were already penalized then I'm amazed. I was the controller of my team's robot and in my team's first match, I accidently went back and forth over the line to knock the ball off from underneath. We got like 2-3 penalties for that.

Also, there was one penalty I thought was very unfair. At the last lap aparently as I was passing over the line, a robot infront of me was blocking the way and I slowed down, but bounced back a very tiny bit over the line. That counted as a penalty. There were also some teams complaining about robots that rammed into their robots at high speeds, but didn't get any penalties called on them. I guess judges can make mistakes, but with 10? out there their calls should be pretty accurate.
