There wasn't a specific rule against driving into the land fill at full speed. The only limitation there would be damaging game elements or knocking something over to the other side. In any case the three tote auto score would not be effected. I don't recall if we ever did this in competition, but one technique we tried for breaking up the land fill was driving into it hard.

I think the goalposts stayed right where they were, but were only made more obvious. How many people at Kickoff weekend realized how bangity-bangy the robots would be getting? Still plenty of robots get a loose wire after driving over a defense, even after Week 3. How many teams watched Week Zero events and still thought robots wouldn't bang against the Driver Wall?

By extension, Q948 makes C-Clamp driver stations illegal too. Back to the ~~drawing board~~ velcro, boys.
