Re: Unscheduled Team Update: 3-20-2014
I'd like to praise the GDC for listening to feedback on CD and elsewhere, and for demonstrating continuous improvement by modifying the game rules to discourage brutal game-play.
While some might get tripped up in the language, I think the intent of the update is loud and clear: the FRC is not and has never meant to be battle bots. Driving recklessly and with disregard to other robots isn't within the spirit of the FRC, and should be penalized.
I think we'll see in referee interpretations and future refinements to this rule that defense still is a viable (and encouraged) strategy, while recklessly smashing into opponents is not (and there is a huge difference).
