Re: Was play this year too aggresive?
I think the poll also needs an entry for "Damaging, Disabling, or 'Internal Interference' aggression", vs JUST raw aggression. Can you add that?
I have NO problem with mixing it up at a VERY high level, nor even the toppling of a badly balanced robot while trying to displace it from a scoring position.
But as I've spoken elsewhere, I fervently wish a cap on aggression aimed at the PERSONAL SPACE of other robots, like jamming mechanism behaviors, excessive forces applied to other bot's PAYLOAD WIDGETS (vs just the drivetrain), insertions of objects into other machines INTERNAL spaces to interfere with an INTERNAL operation, and acts like pulling out detachable bar hooks from their holders so they can't be used later.
