In Reply to: Disqualifications posted by Dan on 2/27/99 4:22 PM MST:



: 2 separate disqualifications just happened at the CA regional. Both were in the elimination matches. One was an "unsportsmanlike conduct" call for intentional tipping (Gunn Robotics Team and Napa Crusher alliance I think) and the other was because a human player grabbed a floppy from their robot which in turn pulled the robot towards him - thus disqualifying the alliance. DQs are pretty stupid (but necessary), BOTH teams got no points but the disqualified team lost 0-0.
: Would this same situation occur in the qualifying matches? That would mean if my opponent was disqualified, I would get a score of zero with the mere incentive of a win (with no qualifying points). I'm pretty sure I'm wrong . .maybe they don't count that match for or against the team whose opponent was disqualified. :-Dan

I don't know about anyone else but I couldn't beleive the disqualifications.
I was pretty ticked at them as a matter of fact, of course I'm biased because I was
routing for Napa+Gunn, but hey. The first thing I thought was dam I've never
seen that before. I can't remember a time at either, the NE regionals, or the Nationals
when a team was disqualified for tipping, perhaps I'm wrong on that but in any
case it was the first time I've seen it. The way I think tipping should be handled
is that pretty much anything goes despite chainsaws, missles, etc. I mean come
on it's the Finals....build your machine to take it and suck things up or move on.
I guess many will feel that's a pretty harsh view but I think that FIRST
is a full contact sport and people like to see tipping. Of course our robot
could take a tip or two so that's another bias. In anycase that's my two
cents worth. Do what you will with it.

See you all in CT or FL,

-Justin
