Re: Bumper problems during a match = penalty?!?!

Why this does not deal with bumpers, it does deal with going outside the bumperzone.

At Boston this past weekend, I believe it was the semifinals, team 178's autonomous mode sent them crashing into the wall on the other side of the field. Their robot has a big box on a hinge on the top. The hinge is to allow them to easily access their electronics, battery, etc.

Their robot hit the wall hinge side first, and because it appeared the robot had not been locked down, the top of it tilted over and was actually hanging outside of the field (and bumper zone for that matter). When the match went to teleop mode, 178 moved their robot away from the wall and the top of it hinged back down to its normally configuration and stayed that way for the rest of the match.


What would CDs interpretation of this be? It looked to me that they broke outside the bumper perimeter, and thus should have been penalized.

Video can be found here: They end up near the center of field towards the closer outpost during autonomous mode.
