Actually in 07 only one team achieved going back and picking up another one, also I don't know if the contact rule was in place. It was a different control system in 07 and they only accomplished this at an offseason invitational.


I believe it could happen, whether or not it will depends more on the robot designs than the programming.

The head referee will require that KEEPERS that do not meet these criteria be removed from the game. It is the responsibility of the head referee to verify that this rule is satisfied prior to the start of the match.
