Balancing Rules in Los Angeles?
Posted by Fred Agnir at 03/19/2001 11:58 AM EST


Coach on team #126, Gael Force, from Clinton HS and Nypro Inc..



A couple of things happened in SoCal that left us in the stands scratching our heads.

One time, with bridge balanced, a black ball came to rest such that it was touching the bridge and the floor. Now, the ball wasn't supporting the bridge, but I found it odd that the referee simply stepped up and kicked the black ball out of the way. I think a closer inspection and explanation was warranted.

Another time, with two goal balanced, a robot (Team #60?) had its arm layed on the bridge, *and* was touching a goal *while* the robot was on the floor. A referee moved the arm,, and the bridge clearly moved. After some huddling and with no explanation offered, the referees posted a score that included an accepted 4X multiplier. This one seemed incorrect to me.

Input anyone?

Fred
