Re: Penalties for a part falling off of robot?
In one match we had a side panel completely fall off after a ball got caught between it and the robot (we use velcro). There was no penalty called for it, not sure if the refs gave us a warning. In a few other matches we had our top panel come loose and partially break frame perimiter, however it might have been too slight for the refs to catch.
During a semifinal match we got hit pretty hard and the back panel of our robot clearly broke bumper perimiter for the rest of the match. The refs chose to call us on that one and it cost us the semis (would have been an 8-8 tie, great match). I think I can see how these were called differently, but I think some official word from the GDC would be good before championships
