Intentionally blocking traffic in Hybrid

The sign applause was definately one of the best moments I had ever witnessed at a FIRST event. Who knew silence could be so loud? - Koko Ed [more]

Re: Impeding in Hybrid

I am of the firm belief that if impeding is allowed then high speed (autonomous) ramming should also be allowed. The IR is simply to flakey to ensure consistent commands and it would take an amazing team to program a robot which reliably avoids other robots. If impeding is allowed and ramming is not allowed autonomous will be limited to two line crosses and one trackball down for fear of penalties. The two rules go hand in hand--either both should be allowed or neither should be allowed.
