Re: Team Update #13
Quote:
The question that I have is, will balls put into motion by whatever auto release mechanisms that teams have for the end of the match be counted if scored?
Aka. If team XXXX has the trackball elevated above the over pass and is programed to release their gripper at t=0 and the ball drops and bounces over the overpass will it count?

I don't think they would score this because when the clock reaches zero the ball was still in contact with the trackball whether it released it or not.
I wish they would apply the 'coming to rest' for the robots also. Last year we could keep lifting after the buzzer sounded because we opened our air valves and dumped all our air into our cyclinders. If this rule was in place last year we wouldn't have scored so well 
I wonder if they will apply this rule for hybrid/autonomous period?
