    Default Autonomous ramming

    <G22> Intentional ROBOT - ROBOT Interaction - Strategies aimed solely at the destruction, damage, tipping over, or entanglement of ROBOTs are not in the spirit of the FIRST Robotics Competition and are not allowed.

    If a robots only purpose, in autonomous mode, is to run across the field and push/ram a robot that is trying to shoot will they be penalized for damage to the other robot?
    Will it depend on the speed of the ramming robot? Slow speed and pushing as opposed to high speed and ramming?

    Default Re: Autonomous ramming

    Robot strategies intended to disrupt the aim of an opposing robot are acceptable and to be expected as long as they are not excessive. Excessive robot-to-robot interactions, as defined in Rule <G22> are not acceptable. This rule apples to both autonomous and teleoperated phases of the game.
