You were at SAC; you witnessed a number of matches where robots played a defensive strategy of aggressively, repeatedly ramming their opponents. As you suggest, that's not a good strategy, nor is it very nice - especially when it reaches the point of tipping or disabling opponents.
I see a big difference between an effective defensive strategy and aggressive, repeated ramming. I don't expect the occasional high speed collision to be called. On the other hand, a strategy of consistently and aggressively ramming your opponent isn't within the spirit of the game, nor of FRC.
