Yeah, I remember that too. For anyone that recalls the Demo Squad and Panzer Aluminum (132) match, there was brutal carnage unfortunetly. Panzer Aluminum was my middle school team, and we had a robot built strong. Our driver decided that he wanted to get on the bar, and Demo Squad decided the same. I can't remember who the other team was, but a lightweight robot made mostly of plastic was already hanging when the two powerhouses decided to come for the bar from each side. Demo and Panzer started ramming from both sides, destroying the plastic bot in between. Took them an extra couple of minutes to go out on the field and collect all the pieces that flew off.

So my question is: Is bot ramming to get another bot off the bar legal?
