: I disagree. Rule P20 says that incedental contact is okay.
: How can you say that they should call something that the
: rules indicate as 'okay?'

Good point. I must've looked past P20. Here's what P20 states:

P20: 'Robots are allowed to extend into the player station interaction
zone. Incidental contact within the interaction zone is acceptable.'

I was basing my opinion on V15 and V18. Here they are:

V15: 'For safety reasons, no part of a robot may touch the human players.
if this occurs due to an intentional act, the alliance causing the
safety hazard will be disqualified.'

V18: 'During a match, no team member may intentionally touch any robot,
except for reasons of personal safety. If this happens, the alliance
will be disqualified.'

That seems pretty clear cut to me. I can't see FIRST letting us have
more contact with the robots... If that would happen, OSHA might have
more of a chance to tighten up the entire competition and pit structure
due to safety issues.

It looks like we need clarification between 'incidental' and
'intentional' contact.

I still stand by my previous post.

By the way, Peter, I think team 107 is a class act. You have a very
impressive robot (everyone needs to check out your super-cool wheels)
and I enjoy working with your team when we have been matched together.
Best of luck in Orlando.

Regards,
Andy B.
