Don't worry, I'm not disputing the call...you guys won that round.
I'm just saying that the theory of a robot in the corner becoming more secure by raising it center of gravity way up high is flawed. A robot should have to take certain precautions to make that a less fragile position. Perhaps FIRST should have made it possible to latch on to the field border. Then they wouldn't have had to outlaw tipping. All I'm saying is that there are ways to allow robots to stay upright on their own merit, instead of giving them a 'get out of jail free' card. You know what I mean?
So don't worry about that match. I talked to the refs too. You guys were great opponents in those rounds and I've got to say, those were a few of the most tense moments I've ever experienced. You guys were great.
See you next year!
