1458 had 2 if I remember right. One was our first or second match the other was with 1280 and another lapbot we were relying on 1280 to hurdle and they got hung up on the overpass so we tried to push them backwards off of it, we got a penalty for doing this but our only chance of winning was getting them off the overpass.

I had two or three... but that was before we integrated PID into our driving code!

I was going to answer, but it looks like Billy already did. To clarify, all the breaking the plane penalties were from hybrid, when we hit other robots and turned around over a line we had already crossed.

The two ramming penalties occured when we tried to zoom around the track with our trackball so we could hurdle, but miscalculated by an inch or so, and hit the corner of a bot hurdling in the opposing alliance's home zone. They seem ridiculous to me, since I knew what our drivers were trying to do, but you never know what the refs saw.

We also only had 2 breaking the plane penalties in our first two matches: one when part of our gripper went back over the line trying to place at the end of the match from the other side of the overpass and one in hybrid when we, like the uberbots, we nudged back over the line.

as the driver for 435, i can proudly say that we have 0 penalties, and we won the VCU regional (thanks again 1086 and 1522)

Team 1458, home of the run on sentence.

But we where very proud of having no penalties, outside of the 2 mentioned. These good graces seemed to spread to other teams on the field, as many of our matches where penalty-free.

Team 1458, home of laultima, who can't spell sentences. Even with spell check.

i would kile to say we have no peanlties but i honestly don't know because they didn;t tell us who got what peanlaties and when we started asking they were on other teams.

[ZakuAce]

I don't think we got any penalties. I know I didn't get any violations for <G22>, but there may have been 1 for something else. I'll have to check out the match videos as soon as they come out!

[DRH2o]

1598 has none that I know of -- partners got some though.

[bigbeezy]

we didnt get any penalties Friday or Saturday. and the only one we got on thursday was due to hybrid mode malfunction...

[TomZ]

At the Detroit Regional my team only had 1 penalty because we supposedly impeded traffic when there was a jam in one turn and all 6 robots were in it and we were the only one to get a penalty. We asked the refs and they said while in the bunch up we were bumped [to pass] and we didn't move.

[sportman3333333]

Team 999 had no penalties the entire weekend.

[Jimmy Cao]

We haven't gotten any breaking the plane penalties, but we got a few "entanglement/aggressive driving" penalties.
