YMTC: Redabot grabs rail
With all of the rules interpretations lately, I thought it would be fun (and maybe valuable) to start some You Make The Call (YMTC) threads.
Other sports, such as golf, have rules and then they have a supplemental guide that discusses the decisions on the rules. Maybe through the years, FIRST will develop such a guide. The guide would be full of examples of when rules were and were not violated.
Now, presenting the first YOU MAKE THE CALL.
With 30 seconds left to go in the finals, Redabot (name of robot) grabs the top perimeter rail of the field and then reaches for the bar. No damage is done to the rail and it is pretty obvious why Redabot did it ... the arm weighs about 120 lbs and the base weighs about 9.99.
You are the ref so YOU MAKE THE CALL
Please base your vote on the 2004 rules. If you find a specific rule that addresses this situation, please share it with everyone.
Since this is the first YMTC, please provide input as to whether you'd like to see more.

I firmly believe that - those [GDC] committee members I have met, even briefly, certainly have a passion for what they are doing and want to give teams and students the best possible experiences. - GaryVoshol [more]
