Re: Penalty for raising tetra higher than player station?
I have a suggestion for the "breaking the plane", safety issue for being over the wall.
Why couldn't the rule just read:
"If you blatantly dangle a tetra over the player station, or drop one over the player station, or fling one outside the playing field, you will be assessed 10pt penalty."
In my opinion, that would take away any "marginal judgement call" to be made by a ref, and it would be obvious when a robot should receive a penalty. Then you won't have these cases where you break the plane by 1cm, in a safe manner (yes - clearly safe), and be disabled.
It would be a pretty clear-cut definition of this whole issue and it would be clear to teams and spectators that they broke a rule.
