Violence was still pretty much unchecked and strategies of pounding the offense into the rack while they attempted to score abounded (ask Karthik about this sometime).
Can't wait to hear this story .

As for 2013, the only penalty gripe I really had with it was the massive penalty for inadvertently touching a robot in the act of climbing, which was worth around 50 points. Fortunately, this happened rarely, although it did happen to us at Buckeye (our back end swung into 1551 while they were hanging in QF 3-3 and we were trying to get to our end of the field. They shook on the bar for what felt like an eternity, but ended up staying on the bar. They got assessed an automatic climb (+30 pts), we were assessed a technical foul (+20 pts), and their original 10 pt. climb was still valid).
