Penalties will given if they do. Accidents will be overlooked. On the day of the competition, each group needs to bring in an 8.5 by 11 inch piece of paper with their group number and members listed on it for a picture with your robot. Penalties and Bonuses Intentional contact will not be permitted. I mean competition.
Point is, play nice.
If your robot is not on its home side at the end of the game you will receive a 15 second penalty. Much less sensitive than the ones that come single wrapped. Bad, very bad. But be careful not to use too weak or strong a resistor or you will risk saturation. If you don't get it in within a few seconds, stop, blow on the contact, let it cool, and start over again.
