Go to Post Well, there goes my strategy of blowing out the opponent and then committing flagrant safety and sportsmanship violations to keep the margin close :D - Jared Russell [more]

My impression of the situation that you describe is that neither robot would be at fault, and therefore no tipping penalty would be called. Essentially, if two robots are engaged in an aggressive pushing battle or something, you accept the consequences of being involved, which I think is fine.

However these rules clarify that if your robot is stationary (or I would also assume moving away from the wedgebot) and they are approached and engaged by the wedgebot at all, any tipping that occurs of the engaged robot would be the fault of the wedgebot (even if it is continued driving/manuvering by the engaged bot that essentially causes the tipping, it was the wedgebot who first approached and put them in this situation). I think that is a very good interpretation of the tipping rule and I trust the Battlecry refs to make good and fair calls based on it.

I am also very happy to see mention of robots who can right themselves. Those tips are often overlooked simply because robots can do that. But we get tipped too!

Anyway, I'm happy to see the clarification before the competition and hope any interpretation issues can be cleared up nefore Saturday!

Can't wait!
