If you thought this year was going to be no contact I will beg to differ. The first 15 secs everyone will get to enjoy a jousting contest. Hopefully robot parts will not splinter like medieval times and hurt someone.

I was thinking Three Stooges more than jousting, but I agree that there will be more contact than most teams are prepared for. For autonomous, not only will all 3 robots need to be mobile, but they will all need to be coordinated far more than in recent years.

This is why having as many auto modes as possible to coordinate with alliance partners is important.

See A Knight's Tale for how not to construct a lance.
