Okay, I'm going to say it like this. Update #18, answers a Q&A that MY advisor posted. That same situation happened to us (1089) at the NJ Regional. Yeah, we lost the match because of penalty points that we didn't deserve. It almost happened twice. I'm not bitter, in fact, I'm glad that my advisor asked so that teams in the future DONT go through that. The fact of the matter is, pushing someone to FORCE them to de-score is wrong (and by this I mean the opposing team has NO control over their own robot). Pushing someone and making them de-score because aren't strong enough to stop you? Not wrong.

Yeah, it sucks that you lost the match because you were touching your tetra, but you know what, it happens. At Jersey our robot got stuck in the center goal. We were touching 2 or 3 tetras. We lost the match. Why? We got pushed into the goal and couldn't get ourselves out by the end. Who's fault is that?

Our team's. Getting stuck was unfortunate but it was because of the team's failure to build a robot that didn't have that problem. Sure, we've done what we can to alleviate the problem in the future, but it doesn't matter. The point is. We lost and it was our fault.

I think the same thing applies to this situation.
