Re: Careful when you push a Gear
I'm pretty sure pushing a gear isnt considered controlling it it looks to the ref's as if you have the intent of picking it up.

Re: Careful when you push a Gear
IMHO, if you purposely push a gear (out of the way), it is control, and subject to the 1 gear rule.
If you are driving and bump into it while you pass by, it is not control, and not a violation of the 1 gear rule. If you are going for the peg and bump into a gear (bulldozing), that is ok. If you have to push the gear out of the way (control) to get to the peg, then that is not ok. |

Re: Careful when you push a Gear
This is not true. There have been several FRC games where "controlling" was a judgement call by the ref based on whether it appeared to be incidental or intentional. Another example is FTC this year, where this was distinguished as "plowing" vs. "herding" of particles. The G27 blue box makes the same distinction this year with ""bull dozing" and "deflection" vs. "herding". They might further clarify, but it seems the G27 blue box is consistent with similar past rules. If I clearly maneuver to push a gear sideways away from a peg so that I can then maneuver to the peg, or herd a gear across the field or away from an opponent, I would expect that to be called. If I plow or deflect a gear in the act of driving straight to the peg, I would not expect that to be called.
