On the topic of when is tipping allowed vs what is a team allowed to do to prevent an opponent from lifting:
What did folks think of team 177's strategy?
It seemed to me that they came very close to crossing the tipping line with their aggressive floppy snatching and basket holding. If just holding down were the purpose, how come some may opponent robots ended up on their sides?
For those who were not there, the crowd actually booed at one point.
By the way, 3D showed a lot of class in the elimination tourney when they accidentally tipped a robot that was FULL of floppies and then went BACK and righted them again. 3D went on to lose the match and leave the tourney as a result. Honorable.
