I'm concerned about that as well. Large hammers swinging outside the bumper perimeter, intakes outside the bumper perimeter. I also hope that the refs are keeping a VERY close eye on intentional damage. Playing good solid D does not equal intentionally taking full speed runs at other robots and slamming into them.
