Our Overdrive robot extended outside our bumper zone a maximum of 4", and then only while acquiring the ball, so that we would not incur incidental contact penalties. Watching the games and counting actual incidental contact from various trackball manipulators, I think *every single match* would have been a 0-0 tie if they were calling it properly...
...which means that teams are so used to penalties not being called for certain rules that they don't even worry about them... So why have them?
