I am not at all OK with that, see my earlier post. I think the rule is poorly written, however by the rule a red card is issued only when Damage or Incapacitation is the result of the strategy.

My point (like MaGiC_PiKaChU's) is simply that the rule as written seems to unfairly punish teams who built a self righting robot.
