Well....

We were all warned that full speed robot collisions would be allowed, would be common, and should be a serious design consideration for this year's competition. I think there is a fine line between damage caused due to malicious acts and damage caused due to lack of sufficient robustness in design by the 'victim'.

Note: I'm envisioning potential damage caused by running the forks under the robot to be lifted; not damage caused by dropping a robot.
