If you are still competing this season, please note that Revision 5 of this year’s Game Manual was released this week: http://www.usfirst.org/roboticsprograms/ftc/2011-2012-game-info
It includes a new General Game rule <G16> Egregious robot or team member behavior at the playing field, as determined by the referees, will result in a Major Penalty and possible disqualification. Subsequent violations will result in team disqualification. Egregious behavior includes, but is not limited to, repeated and/or flagrant violation of game rules, uncivil behavior towards Drivers, Coaches, competition personnel and event attendees, and repeated or flagrant unsafe behavior or actions.
If you practice Gracious Professionalism, it shouldn’t be a problem!
