Re: Look Back: Week 5

Rick TYler,
Funny you should mention that, because it actually occurred in our 2nd match at GLR.
A robot on the opposing alliance was trying to herd our color ball and the drivers drove into the corner of the field getting stuck in the fence, with one of our balls in their grippers and unable to get themselves free and unable to get rid of our ball.
They were assessed a single 10 point penalty.
Because they had driven into the fence, it was clearly an accident - but there we were, 3 against 2, but - with only one ball to hurdle. Fortunately for us, we won that match, but it could have gone the other way too.
How much do you think the team stuck in the fence should have been penalized? It's a tough call, I'd hate to just keep piling on the penalties - Lord knows, theres already way too many for my liking.

Mike
