Re: Drive-over penalties still being called

It is pretty nice of you to clarify how you are planning on making the calls. I would think, however, that you would want to make the call in accordance with the rules. If for some reason a ball gets stuck under their robot and they spend the entire match trying to remove it without actually engaging in game play, why penalize them? Which rule are they breaking?

Quote:
<G46> BALL Penetration Restriction – The BALL must not extend more than 3 inches inside the FRAME PERIMETER as defined in Rule <R19>. Incidental protrusions of the BALL within this boundary will not be penalized if the TEAM corrects the condition before resuming game play. Violation: PENALTY for a basic infraction, plus a YELLOW CARD if no immediate attempt to remedy and/or the action is deemed intentional.

A BALL trapped under a ROBOT, intentionally or unintentionally, will be considered POSSESSED until it is dislodged from the ROBOT. Teams are encouraged to design and drive with this in mind. Note that this does not alleviate the inspection requirements for 3 inch intrusion.
Examples of game play include, but are not limited to, actively engaging with another ROBOT, navigating toward a GOAL, controlling the position or direction of another BALL (e.g. kicking or herding), and changing regions (crossing a BUMP or under a TOWER).
