Tipping

From The Rules...

Tipping Rule Clarification: In general, a tipping DQ will result when the 'tipper' initiates a lifting action that results in tipping; if the 'tippee' initiates the action, there is no fault.
Examples:
1. If a "wedge-bot" engages a stationary robot such that the stationary robot climbs the "wedge" and then, through action on the part of either robot, ends up tipping over, a tipping offense is appropriate.
2. If a robot engages a stationary "wedge-bot" such that it climbs the "wedge", and then, through action on the part of either robot, ends up tipping over, there is no offense.
3. In all cases, and especially when both 'tipper' and 'tippee' are in motion, final decisions as to DQ's, warnings, or no-fault calls are up to the Head Ref. His decision will be uninfluenced by a tipped robot's ability to re-right itself.


Very clear and concise guidelines, which is good, one problem though...there is no mention of two robots ramming each other and one riding up a wedge. This happens quite often, especially on the ramp, in both normal and autonomous modes. Might be a good idea to clarify this rule just a little bit further. Otherwise, I think the current guidelines are fair. Good job.
