Re: Overdrive <G22> poll: yea or nay?

G22 has caused some pretty heated debate, and IMO, is ok, but needs to be tweaked. Its causing too many people to get penalties when they are inadvertently breaking the plane, either due to robot rotation, or visibility issues.

I would LIKE to see it changed such that (and yes, I know I'm living in a fantasy world) if less than 50% of the robot crosses the line in the reverse direction AND the robot gains no scoring advantage by doing so (ie. doesnt influence a TRACKBALL, doesn't contact another ROBOT) I dont think the robot should be penalized. I think this modification would keep the intent of the rule intact, while allowing for incidental plane breaking non-consequential to the outcome of the game.
