Re: <G24> Empty Cell Ruling from DC
I'm sorry...GP or not, this is the kind of thing I love about FIRST. Like stacking "dead" robots two years ago... It's the simple ingenious things that are so completely out of the box that really make me say to myself "wow...why didn't I think of that".
Unfortunately, all the the rules in the last few years really seem to limit the amount of crazy out of the box winning strategies that escape 99% of the FIRST participants so when moments like this come up (granted, this was by accident...but Raul's move in 2007 wasn't), it really inspires me to try and take a different look at the game to try and find a different way to play. It's almost to me like there is a secret puzzle in there somewhere and if you solve it, you can use it to your advantage...
It's going to be updated to be a penalty for each empty cell carried over one... But if not...it will be just another trick in the bag for autonomous...
