[moderated]: Ask the Championship Head Refs now!

[Chris Marra]

Are human players allowed to begin throwing balls as the timer hits zero for autonomous, or do they have to wait until the buzzer?

Also, what constitutes "high speed long distance ramming?" Will robots be required to visibly slow down prior to hitting another robot, or how will it be called?

[Nimmy]

If a robot is at a near tipping point (45 degree angle or so), and an opposing robot pushes it, will there be a penalty on that even though it only required a small nudge?
also, if a robot of the same alliance as the one about to be tipped nudges the tipping robot (or even rams into it), and that robot tips over, will there be a penalty for that alliance?

same question for robots halfway up the ramp.
