Re: Are we supposed to memorize the rules?

I saw an example of a team that did not read the rules at FLR last weekend and kicked their human player out of the station at the beginning of a match and sent him back to the pits because he had nothing to do since the other two teams in the alliance sent their human players to the other side. Me and an inspector tracked him down and brought him back to the field and made him stay in the station and they were lucky that they had to restart the match or they would have goteen a penalty.
I've seen a human player on a team stand over by the judges chairs during a match and watch his team play at GTR and at DC a rookie coach darted out of his station suddenly and ran over to do something inexplicably with his cart while they were counting down to start the match and I had to drag him back to his station too.
It's one thing to not know or understand complex or obscure rules that come up every once in a while (like the extra point given to the winner of a minibot race in the case of a tie at FLR final 1) but not knowing basic and obvious rules are inexcusable. Period.

Re: Are we supposed to memorize the rules?

I remember when we were at the stage of the season when we had to cut weight, and our team had decided to put "brakes" on the robot, which lifter the robot up, off the ground to be un-pushable. However, they were the first thing on the chopping block, since they were tertiary goals.

There were a few people against taking them off, and when it came to discussion, one of them said
"what if someone pushes us around while we are trying to score, like '07"

I facepalmed.
