Re: climbing over robots?

There are years where we've played very hard defense, but always try to stop short of tipping robots or driving over the top of them. (Most of the time they'd be driving over the top of us, via defense-initiated contact.)

We've never been issued a penalty for such rough play, though we absolutely always tried to remedy the situation without damaging or tipping our opponent's bots (and (a) we've never deliberately tipped a robot and (b) to my knowledge we've never damaged a robot via driving partially on top of them.)
