Re: Intentionally tipping and disabling your own robot FTW...
I would hope the judges would treat such a blatant disregard for gracious professionalism rather severely. The arena is 27 feet wide, which means each lane is 13 feet wide (i'm allowing for a foot for the divider)... The only possible reason a team would want a robot 13 feet tall would be for such a strategy - there's no point in getting that tall to score.
So while there is no specific rule against it, such an action is against the spirit of first, and as such could be dealt with by the judges. |
