Unhappy Kidnapping Opponent's Robot
Is it just me, or do other folks feel it is not in the spirit of FIRST to allow robots to be dragged, pulled or otherwise kidnapped. I called FIRST to try to convince them that the matches will be too much like Battlebots if this is allowed. They said they MAY change the rule because a few teams have also complained. An updated is coming out tonight.

I know I can come up with a robot design that will let me grab an opponents robot pull them into the endzone and watch my partner just grab one more goal to almost insure us a win. But I think I would make a lot of enemies in the FIRST community.

Just my opinion. I'm sure others disagree -so let's hear it.

Raul
