Unfortunately we think you are right - but that is going to make the game look more like Battle Bots than actual team play.
In our first competition the day started out with good defense - yes there was pushing but not full speed ramming of robots. The group in the pit next to us had the frame bent in about an inch (not called) and not totally noticed until back in pit.
It's looking like you should just make your bot a 120lbs monster and get people out of the way - but I am not really sure that is intended for the game.
