I suppose the
I believe update 15 addresses this as well.
The pushing robot risks penalty from ramming or safety, as I'm not sure what the point of pushing a robot at the corner goal would be.

I saw the earlier thread, and expected that the incursion DQ would be called as it was on Redabot. The earlier thread doesn't anticipate Bluabot also being DQ'd -- that's why I asked for clarification (or correction) of what actually happened from someone who was directly involved.

A referee who was on the scene and witnessed the play commented that he hoped this double-DQ call would not occur frequently, since it seems to be a method for a team that is hopelessly behind in an elimination match to force a tie and (in effect) get a replay.
