Rosie stuffs Thrust

[EricH]

Daniel, under <T05>, a ref can assign a yellow card for "egregious robot behavior". If you told the team that they shouldn't do something (like push another team up the bump, knowing that they couldn't get off), and they did it anyway, the refs could bring out the yellow--the team knows that the refs could call that egregious behavior, and should try to avoid that.

The contact with a robot trying to right itself is a minimum of a penalty if it's inadvertent and a red card if it's intentional. I haven't watched the video yet, so I'll hold off on making that call until (and assuming) I see it. <G37-c-ii> does not apply if the robot is righting themselves, so that's a penalty and possibly a red card if contact was made intentionally or damages the robot substantially. (From the descriptions, penalty only would be the likely call.)

Stuffing a robot into the goal is less clear. I've seen mecanum robots go sideways into the goal under the influence of another robot and not be able to come out because their wheels on one side of their drivetrain were below the lip. No penalty was ever called. It's possible to get a yellow card, depending on how loosely <G36> is interpreted, specifically the "entanglement" part. Apparently, a robot stuffed in a goal and not able to get out is not considered "entangled", therefore, no penalty. This may change for the Championships, but we'll see about that tomorrow or next week.

In short, there was at least one possible penalty/red card for the hitting a tipped robot and a clean play that should not have netted a penalty or a card unless it was consistently repeated.
