Where is the line?

So where does FIRST draw the line between ramming another robot and causing intentional damage? I'm rather concerned that we will cause damage if we run into other robots at full speed (probably about 17 mph).

if you hit the robot, first says that robots should be built to take a beating, but if you go out at a robot and keep beating it i would say they will DQ you

line

So, what if, during the first 15 seconds we go backwards full speed and ram the robot on the other side off the course? Built to endure, right?

i depends, are you intentionaly trying to damge the robot, the only way a team will be DQ'ed is if its shown to be intentional damage, lemme give you an example,

in 2k2 in one round at J&J my team released their mini me too earlly, so the other allinace decided to specifficly target our mini me, ran over it, backed up ran over it and did that all over again, and then spun around on it doing a happy dance, now the officals could have DQ'ed our team for "entanglment" but when your drivers are laughing as they purposly destroy a part of our bot, and the officals notice, then you will be DQ'ed, so the moral of hte story, is Gracious Professionalism, or dont laugh as you break the rules i cant figure out which, :D

yeah right, you wont be going 17mph. 17 fps maybe, but that is doubtful.
