Re: Rosie stuffs Thrust

Intentional tipping is pretty much impossible to prove, with the elimination of contact outside the bumper zone there is no reason a robot should tip because another bot hits it onflat ground.

As for the legality of pushing THRUST into the goal, I can't see why it would be illegal, quite frankly had they not lost power they should have driven in front of the other goal and prevented all goal scoring the rest of the game.

I have been impressed by THRUST's robots since they started in this competition but quite frankly it doesn't make sense to design a bot that can get pushed into a goal but cant drive out.

As for the entanglement rules, I have only seen them enforced when a robot entangles another robot (i.e. if I have a net on my robot then I need to make sure your robot can't get stuck in it.) It is the responsibility to the team to make sure their own robot can't get entangled with field elements.
