Re: You write <G34> and <G35>

Good topic as our team suffered at the both regionals and nationals due to "aggresive behavior". Don't need a new rule or definition, if a team plays too aggressive then warn them and if they continue DQ them. The aggressive behavior will stop. Just like every basketball game is different because of different refs so can this - but for each set of refs the interaction would be similar, correlate the out front fouls vs under the bucket mugging.
Maybe we need better ref training like the videossomeone else suggested.
FIRST has now become Battlebots in my opinion unless they curtail this aggressiveness. There is little advantage to building a well engineered bot versus one that is just a tough rolling box that quick and powerful that plays only defense.
