Re: Penalty for raising tetra higher than player station?

Breaking the plane rule has been used at different regionals for a couple of weeks now - I am not certain that it is written down except for the "safety of the players" wording in some generic rule.
I have witnessed tetras hit drivers and coaches in the head on three different occasions, when they came over the wall inadvertently.
I have seen the arms dangling them over the wall and not hit anyone.
In all honesty, I believe that for the safety of everyone, the robot should be turned off - but again, if the rule is to be enforced it must be clearly communicated to all on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday.
Given that clear warning, teams can choose to take on the risk and they can avoid the consequences, if they break the rule.
Teams that cause another to break the plane should also be turned off as a matter of fairness.
This has been a rough year with rules and interpretations of the rules - we will all need to be somewhat flexable and alter our strategies appropriately. I would only hope that those that do this, are rewarded and those that choose to push the limits are not.
