Stratego
You have to use your robot to the best of its strategic ability, and for some, including my team, that means that you move everything on the field where you want it. To maximize our score and the other alliance's, we frequently repositioned other robots into their own bot zone while maintaining control of a goal. Almost anyone that was at Rutgers and isn't blind can tell you what we do. Once, a driver was spoken too about being overly aggressive, but just once. He was a Freshman, by the way, and the excitement got to him. In my book, gracious professionalism is apologizing to a team after accidently getting a hook tangled in their pneumatic lines that were exposed. Granted, the Buffalo Dance (ask a Boy Scout) wasn't too tactful at times, but you have to be allowed to celebrate. Anyway, if you have the power to move stuff, move it. You shouldn't be penalized for using your robot to the best of its abilities.
