2 v 3 in Dallas

[Rypsnort]

It looks like 118 and 624 have been playing with only two robots during finals. Whats up with that. 2613 is now on the field for the last match.

Seems like things were much stricter at Dallas than they were at Granite State. Teams were taking their time with setting up, and everyone was given more than 60 seconds it seemed.

Looks like all six bots are on the field for the final match.

And yet its still 2v2

Really sad to see 987 getting absolutely wrecked by these elims decisions. Really a shame to not see them get to play for some reason or another.

It ended up being 1v2 given that 987 was disabled for breaking the height restriction.

G7 When placed on the FIELD for a MATCH, each ROBOT must be:
A. in compliance with all ROBOT rules, i.e. it has passed Inspection. For exceptions regarding Practice MATCHES, see Section 5.2 – Practice MATCHES.
B. fully supported by the floor, SCORING PLATFORM, and/or SCORING PLATFORM ramps on their ALLIANCE’S side of the
FIELD, and
C. completely outside of their AUTO ZONE and LANDFILL ZONE.
VIOLATION: If fix is a quick remedy, the MATCH won’t start until all requirements are met. If it is not a quick remedy the offending
ROBOT will be DISABLED and at the discretion of the Head REFEREE must be re-Inspected.

Nowhere in the pre-match rules does it state anything about being above the height limit, that is assumed to be part of G7-A, and is the responsibility of the inspectors. If 987 passed inspection with that add on, then there is no reason for them to be disabled, and if they didn't pass inspection there is no reason they would have gone through with that auto...what just happened?

[Chinmay]

Did they measure that using 1678's cut up tape measures.

It's the most absurd thing to try and watch any matches as an alumni and try to explain robotics to friends/family to show them why I enjoy the sport if the refs decide matches before they start.

I'm sure there's an explaination but as a viewer I'm pretty disappointed.

Doesnt the robot rules state a max height?

For those who watched Dallas, did 2613 ever get the RC bins from the step in auto? If not, that is a brilliant move by that alliance to get 987 to forgo those 28 auto points (and eventually be deemed illegal).

From what I saw they never did.

987 and 148 on the Red Alliance were robbed. How is it possible the 987 was now 'too tall' and disabled in the final game-deciding match?

What even are rules if it's decided to not follow them?
