Re: Shooting Percentage for week 1
The definition of pinning a robot on the batter has been on my mind a lot right now too.
When a robot is fully on the batter, it's basically enclosed on 3 of 4 sides by the field. An opposing robot simply has to drive near the open side to be considering pinning it. Will refs call it this way, and start counting down as an opposing robot gets near?
The rules are pretty clear to me, but sometimes the actual gameplay is different.
This has major implications, because it basically means defending robots need to leave a clear path for robots to drive off the batter, or risk being called for pinning.
