Smile Finish Line

Does anyone know if the finish lines are just flat, or if they have a bump so that you can tell if you're over them?

Thanks

No bump. I've never yet seen tape form a bump when laid flat.

The only bumps on the field are for the support plates for the lane divider.

It's a piece of checkered tape.

Don't forget the bumps formed by any slow-moving referees....

Does the rule that allows robots to push incapacitated robots out of the way extend to incapacitated refs?

Re: Finish Line

It does, but please be aware that you can only be in possession of one ref at any time. Herding refs is allowed.

Re: Finish Line

Is a Referee like a ball? If deflated (ego wise that is - lol *) do they get deactived and replaced with a new Referee at the first safe opportunity?










*No that's not a hit on any refs in particular, or any ref at all for that matter. I've been a ref, and I see how ego's can get in the way sometimes among the ref crew...
Not always, but.. ya know.. just sayin'.
The infamous Zebra Stripe themed Referee Team is like any other team in that sense I guess.
