Bumper Zone Contact

[Peter Matteson]

I would expect defensive contact similar to 2006. Pushing and shoving to throw off your aim during shots is intended to be part of the game. Robots WILL definitely tip or flip on the bumps, and that is part of the unique design challenge that they gave us this year.

If your robot can be tipped over by being pushed on level ground however that is just poor design in my opinion. You should know going into the game this is part of it. I can't even imagine what a robot capable of getting tipped over by level ground pushing would be like in this game because it would have to have a high center of gravity that is near the edge of the robot. thereby making it impractical to drive over the bumps and too tall to go thru the tunnel.

With no arms to push high on a robot with how does some one tip in this game in a level ground pushing match?
