The rules against this are implied.

This is the year of common sense, and gracious professionalism.

Teams are expected to play hard, and try to win... but as long as GP is forefront in everyones mind, there shouldn't be many problems.

I think the most important thing is that every robot is designed to "take it, get up, and keep on going".
