Two Questions Regarding Hurdling
So I was thinking of a strategy with a mentor, and we were thinking about blocking a ball being hurdled with a launcher. Assuming that we make no contact with the robot hurdling is this legal?
I was thinking something along the lines of having our elevator all the way up braced against an opponents overpass. When the opponent would go to launch their ball it would hit our elevator and bounce off. I'm assuming that this is a legal move because we would have made no contact with the opposing robot and if we were bumped our robot would be moved.
Now for question 2. According to the manual a Hurdle is defined as: HURDLE: When a TRACKBALL CROSSES a FINISH LINE while passing above the OVERPASS
and then contacts either the floor or another ROBOT before re-contacting the originating ROBOT.
Does this mean that theoretically passing the trackball over is considered a hurdle?
I would Post in Q/A but I have no clue who has the Username and password
