removing trackball from overpass

Tyler Grooms · #1 14-01-2008, 19:56

i have been reading the rules and i have not come to a rule specifying whether or not you are permited only to push the trackball off in the counter clockwise. in other words is it allowable to push the track ball off and it falls backwards(clockwise).

will that result in a penalty or is it permited?

There are no rules governing the direction in which trackballs are allowed to move, only for the direction in which robots can move, and the direction in which trackballs can score.

you can do it... as long as you do not break the plane of the line that is right below the overpass. if you break that plane, it's a ten point penalty.

As in, don't break it going clockwise, if you have already crossed the line.
