Since 2002, the announcers have been encouraging more aggressive play at every event that I have attended.
When the rules book states that you should make your robot "robust" to withstand "vigorous robot interaction," I find it hard to believe that you will be disqualified or booed when you engage in vigorous robot interaction that furthers game objectives.
IMHO this year's game is going to be much rougher than last year's game, which was an extremely vigorous contest.
Let me make sure I get the contra opinion straight.
If I design a robot that can snag all of the small balls (bonus balls included) in autonomy, the opponent alliance is expected to let me park in front of my alliance station and deliver them to the human player at my own pace for the next 1:45. And, when my alliance partner goes over to cap the goal, the opponent alliance is expected to let that happen as well.
