Re: Drive-over penalties still being called

I didn't see what these penalties were called against, but teams can still get penalized for driving onto a ball! If the event is either intentional or if the robot procedes to score, cross zones, kick or possess another ball, or engage with another robot, the team earns a penalty. The exact wording is in the rules, but it is essentially to that effect. So, although I'm expecting this to reduce the penalties resulting from this rule (at least for teams that drop whatever they're doing and get off the ball!), I don't think it'll eliminate these penalties!
