Re: Penalty for raising tetra higher than player station?

We had a similar situation at UTC, luckily the refs let us play on. We had the arm extended 14 feet in the air and we got pushed into the other team's zone.. I'm not sure why we weren't disabled, maybe because the way we hold the tetra's they felt it wasn't going to fly off.

I know somebody mentioned the fact that some robots let go soon as the power is shut off, but if a team also needs to be under power to keep the arm up 2 things could happen.

1. the arm falls and comes back into the field NOT endangering anybody. Could that team be re-enabled if it's deemed to be safe again? (I'd assume no)

2. What if that arm falls and the tetra hits the top of the driver's station, the tetra could fly off and hurt somebody, wouldn't it be safer to just let the team keep playing?
