Rough Play in Rack N Roll

Okay. I know exactly who you are talking about and I was talking with their driver.

He said that he was caught between the rack and the two robots they knocked over both times. He had no choice but to push until those robots moved.

I know where you are coming from and that does seem like something that should have been penalized, but in both cases they were simply pushing within the bumper zone. There was no high-end tipping, no wedges, no high speed ramming. It was fair, it was clean. They didn't make an obvious effort to tip those robots over.

In fact the fact that these games do get rough is one reason why I joined the team my freshman year. It brings people in. Nobody wants to watch a game that involves no contact.... It's just.... boring =D

Yeah, I would agree with you if there wasn't one small detail...

Stack Attack 2003

Nothing quite like four robots all racing at full power to be the king of the hill.
