Re: Bumper Zone Contact

Interesting question.

You are pushing another robot and see that it is starting to tip over and you don't back off. The robot tips over, your fault? You had the chance to back off but didn't but your contact was within the bumper zone.

Is it the other teams fault for building a tipsy robot?

In Rack 'n Roll I saw this happen many times and never saw it called a penalty. But then again bumpers were not mandatory.
