Lack of rule enforcement

What really miffed me was the lack of enforcement of certain rules in the game. The tipping rule was very rarely enforced and when it was it was not properly used. Poor Buzz got DQed while one team went around tipping bots and no penalties were issued. Many teams were going around bragging of how many bots they tipped over, none of these teams got penalties. Enforce the rules!!!

I did like the ramp points ot gave my team a chance to make a difference despite haveing to replace our drive train. We were the only bot I saw in Galieo that stuck to the ramp evry time and stayed there despite many repeated attacks. We got on the ramp in 6 out of 7 of our matches and stayed on every single time!!
Even at Rutgers Team 25 could not push us off, and we all know how fast they could ram!!
Look at this pic for proof! (Not 25 but a good example)
