f22flyboy: Thank you for not mentioning the name of the team you've been having problems with in your post.

I don't think that ramming* is in any way part of the spirit of FIRST and Gracious Professionalism. However, like M. Krass said, "FIRST prohibits pinning for more than 10 seconds. After a referee counts out 10 seconds, the robot must back off 3 feet. After that, the process begins again. If what is happening lies within those guidelines, it's legal."

If I saw a team ramming another robot, it is safe to say that I would be disappointed in them.

*ramming = repeatedly slamming into another robot with the intent of damaging the robot.
