Re: No Penalty for causing the other team to get one?

exactly my point. G61 says no penalty shall be given for a bot forced to penalize but says nothing about the opposing bot that caused it, therefore, it is legal to push a defending bot into the scoring zone if you can. I agree, they would have to immediately get out or that could be considered a penalty.
Anyone have any ideas about the idea of putting tube on another robot? I know this comes up with games like this every year. We had to encase our robot in past years to avoid a ball getting stuck and thus making us unable to control another ball. It seems that placing a scoring object on opposing robots would render them useless unless they could remove it??
