Or the right place, depending on who you are asking.

That wouldn't invalidate a climb would it?

Depending on how you want to call it, it might actually move the robot up a couple of levels... though I don't think this was a strategy to inhibit.

Makes sense. Accidentally getting a frisbee stuck under a robot != throwing a frisbee and hitting a robot with a climb in progress.

couldn't the red alliance get a foul for the disk or the blue get a 30 pt climb points?

unless i am mistaken, if the ref deemed it intentional blue would be rewarded a 30 point climb.

I remember this match, I was on the red alliance. All of the refs came out and spent around 5 minutes determining if it was/was not a valid climb. It ended up being called as an unintentional disc throw and 4797 received no climbing points. But this match got replayed due to field comm issues throughout the match.

Match reply aside, that seems like a weird decision to me. If the robot is off the ground (contacting a disc, but not the field), how could that be invalid.

The climb was ruled valid, it was our climb that was ruled invalid because we had something hanging off the bot and touching the ground. 4797's counted, our argument was that an opponents hp throw is not allowed to interfere with the climb. It didn't end up making a difference in the score anyway and the match was replayed for field issues regardless. Looking back maybe we should have gotten credit for a 30 point climb, but then again there was far from any intent to it by the red alliance.

Ah got it, misunderstood the first time around.
