San Diego: Tech Foul in Finals

[JB987]

Let this outcome stand as a precautionary tale...it appears if your inbounders attempt to add any force to propell the ball outward toward their receiving robot anywhere away from the low goal they may incur a g32 call or even g31 should it make contact with an opposing ball or robot. Results from yesterday may continue to reinforce typical soft short toss into inbounders bots as a prevailing strategy. Unfortunately this means defenders jobs become easier as they know balls will almost always be inbounded next to the low goal. Are you willing to risk giving 50 pts to your opponent every time you in bound to a robot away from the low goal?

Keep in mind even one errant or intercepted inbound may apparently be percieved as a "strategy"...

Having said this I want to convey my congrats to our opponents. Unbelievably tough defense, great shooting and driving. Hats off to the whole alliance.
