Those rules are put in place so that you don't have a bunch of robots on the field that are destroying game elements keeps FIRST's cost down and it is just common sense for teams. I've never seen a team penalized for popping/damaging a field element but if they see you doing it over and over they will crack down on your robot. Last year at the Championship they had a string of popped tubes on our division so before each match the que-er would feel the front of our robot for sharp edges.

Were those shots taken in sequence or were they only shots that made it in the hoop? Looks very promising for you guys!
