Re: pic: 848 Puts a Massive Pin on 399

Out of all the possible outcomes of an attempted pin, this seems rather improbable. I wouldn't consider putting a penalty on either team mostly because it's just one of those crazy things that happens during competition. I'm sure 848's intention was not to ingest 399, as I'm sure 399's goal was not to try and phase through 848's bot. Since this year, all robots must remain within their bumper zones, I'm not sure out of bumber zone contact is an enforcable penalty.

I'd say it's things like this that really bring a lot of excitement to FIRST competitions.
