Re: Drive-over penalties still being called

Everyone,
Those of you that are thinking that robots should be designed to prevent ball incursion, please be aware that Inspectors are checking for this during the inspection process. Every robot is looked over for ball incursion and in Wisconsin the Lead Inspector had some very nice ball check templates made for the inspection process. If you check the Inspection Checklist Rec C, you will find this item just under the bumper check on the first page as it relates to R19 of the robot rules. If you have not attended a regional at this point, expect to be required to comply with this rule at your events.
