Re: Predictions to win 2008 Frc Championship

I'm glad you brought it up!
Blocking "may" not be illegal. I for one thought it was, even after the heated CD discussions and updates.
However, during week 3 regionals, especially the one we attended, blocking was done and WE were called for 30 points in penalties for hitting the blocking robot, during hybrid mode.
Prior to the Hawaii regional matches, I made it a point to ask the head ref on how he would call it on a situation where the opposing team blocks. He said he wouldn't call a penalty on either side.
It really was fine with us as we knew prior to the matches and as long as it was consistent throughout the weekend.
Not sure what the GDC would say, however, I would definitely ask the head ref on Thursday at CMP. It may differ from division to division.
