Re: Penalties for a part falling off of robot?
I dont think penalties should be called for falling parts.
It was called in all 3 regionals we attended. SD, AZ and HI.
We were called on it twice for our polycarbonate shield coming off the top of our bot. It was 2 of 3 penalties I believe we got this season.
The other was for herding 2 balls at once, which by the way is legal! The head ref admitted later that one member of her team got it wrong, but wouldnt change the score after we challenged it.
Here's my gripe. It was caused by the opponent due to heavy defense from us trying to score soccer balls into goals.
I thought that the opponent couldnt cause you to receive a penalty? 
I'd ask the head ref prior to the starting of matches on what they will call. Its obvious that it depends on the referee team at the respective regional.
