Re: Offence on the airship?

For the sake of common sense and decency, these are high school kids. Putting them in the middle of the field is already a big step towards potential risks. FIRST has already banned launching fuel into the airship, but please don't try to think of ways to circumvent that rule. From a safety standpoint, and equally important just from a common sense standpoint, don't torment these high schoolers in the middle of the field. Winning a match simply isn't worth it.

Maybe park next to the airship and blast some Rick Astley at them.

Re: Offence on the airship?

Messing with the pilots will be pretty much non-existent.

From a background standpoint, anything you do to interact with the pilot will be limited just for safety. Even lifting gears from a robot is on the fence and could possibly change down the road.

From a driver standpoint, the lifts are on the sides of the airship FACING the alliance color. This means you have no visibility aside from what you see in your slightly delayed camera. Blind driving into a robot trying to line up to deliver a gear is one thing. Trying to knock a gear off before the pilot pulls it up is a whole nother can-o-worms.
