The result:
Our bot- multiple penalties and a red card for going over the boundary line
The aggressor- nothing; high speed collisions are just part of the game
After that experience, I am convinced that there's someone that will disable someone else's bot in a restricted area and then proceed to force them to incur G28's and get away with it because of the referee's interpretation of G44 and G45. If your referee's having a bad day and particularly doesn't like your robot, there is no way that you can argue against him and avoid getting penalized for the actions of the other team.
