Penalty for raising tetra higher than player station?

My team heard another team describe the Championships as "10,000 kids jamming the Georgia Dome for 3 days…more nerds per square foot than a Star Trek convention…and more purposefully employed " Is this true?, Because I don't think there could possibly be a more wonderful place on earth - Emily3204 [more]

Re: Penalty for raising tetra higher than player station?

Safety should come before gameplay, no questions asked. If a robot breaks the plane and poses an immediate threat to the operators, that robot needs to be shut down immediately. If a robot is pushing that robot to cause the situation, both robots need to be shut down. A warning isn't harsh enough - sure you could issue a warning, but someone might be seriously hurt by then. If this isn't changed by some of the upcoming regionals and the national competition, I just have a really bad feeling that someone is going to get seriously hurt all because the robot was not shut down when it broke the plane of the player station.
