Tipping and Tipped robots

[Brandon Holley]

Me and one of our mentors on the team were talking about this topic and it came up to be very interesting. What were to happen if a team were to be capping, and another, in an effort to play defense, not intentially tip their bot, just push them out of the way. In the course of this, the stacking robot is pushed and tipped over with their arm fully extended ( say about 10 feet for reference ) Now the team that had tipped them is on the wrong side of the field and needs to get back to score. An opposing bot is blocking one alley, and the 10 foot long tipped robot is laying down on the other side. What is this one bot to do? Should they attempt to drive through the alley that is blocked by the opposing bot? Are they penalized for tipping another bot? Just an interesting scenario that I'm sure will come up often this year.. POST AWAY
