I'm curious as to what this HP was doing. At the St. Louis regional I witnessed a couple of HP's intentionally throwing tubes at tubes robots were carrying. It actually worked once or twice, and no penalties were called; I do not believe doing such is against the rules, nor should it be (IMO). How could an HP damage a robot?
