Guess my mindset is a bit off, on the field I expect them to do their best to try their hardest to give it everything. Last year shoving was okay and I approved of it but I would absolutely chew out a driver when the driving was overly aggressive. So a random crash not okay no spite no hate.. just competition.
That being said there are certain lines that I take as courtesy when competing. If a robot is dead on the field you don't kick em while they are down...
Rivalries are what we have on field, refreshments and relaxation time is what we have off of it.
There's a line between driving aggressively(I did this last year) and being unsportsmanlike or a douche bag
